Analysis of 'Alone' by Edgar Allen Poe

From childhoods hour I arrive at not been

As opposites were; I have not seen

As others saw; I could not bring

My passions from a rough-cut spring.

From the homogeneous source I have not taken

My melancholy; 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 learning of good and ill

The mystery which binds me still:

From the torrent, or the fountain,

From the red pearl 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 locomote by,

From the thunder and the storm,

And the cloud that took the form

(When the rest of Heaven was blue)

Of a devil in my view.
