Alone
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 its autumn tint of gold—
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by—
From the thunder, and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view—

Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing.

You did VERY good with this.

Many of the other presentations I've viewed on this piece had music playing far too loud in the background, But you did well in making the music complimentary, rather than overwhelming.

BRAVO.

I think you'd possibly like the poet Joseph Brodsky..if you're not yet familiar with him.

Of all the videos I have seen so far I liked this one the better, the rest gave me the impression that they wanted to overdo it with the voice.

You show the narrator aging towards awareness (which I love..beautiful take om how we see our youth) but when I see this poem, I see the narrator looking inside his inner child and his inner child looking inside him. I see the writers plight of sight without experience (the storm occurring both within and outside himself) and how that plight triggers the isolation and reflection. Also how Poe sees this gift as a curse (and himself as the demon enacting it).
