Alone
|
|
-
|
|
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 loved, I loved alone.
|
|
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
|
|
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
|
|
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 lightning in the sky
|
|
As it passed 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.
