Alone Lyrics - Singles - Arcturus

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe 

From childhood's hour I have not been 

As others were - I have not seen 

As others saw - I could not bring 

My passions from a common spring 

From the same source I have not taken 

My sorrow; I could not awaken 

My heart to joy at the same tone; 

And all I lov'd, I lov'd alone 

Then - in my childhood - in the dawn 

Of a most stormy life - was drawn 

From ev'ry depth of good and ill 

The mystery which binds me still: 

From the torrent, or the fountain, 

From the red cliff of the mountain 

From the sun that 'round me roll'd 

In it's autumn tint of gold - 

From the lighting in the sky 

As it pass'd me flying by - 

From the thunder and the storm, 

And the cloud that look the form 

(When the rest of Heaven was blue) 

Of a demon in my view.
