Alone Lyrics - Green Carnation

From childhood's hours I have not been 

As others were --- I have not seen 

As others saw --- I could not bring 

My passion from a common spring 

From the Same source I have not taken 

My sorrows; I could not awaken 

My heart to joy at the same tone; 

And all I loved, I loved alone. 

Then --- In my childhood --- In the dawn 

Of a most stormy life --- was dawn 

From every 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 rolled 

In its autumn tint of gold--- 

From the lightening in the sky 

As it passed me flaying by--- 

From the thunder and the storm, 

And the clouds that took form 

When the rest of Heaven was blue 

Of a demon in my view
