lyrics

Alone (E. A Poe)

A C#m
From childhood's hour I have not been
B A
As others were; I have not seen
G#m C#m
As others saw; I could not bring
F#m A
My passions from a common spring.

C#m G#m
From the same source I have not taken
A B7
My sorrow; I could not awaken
C#m B
My heart to joy at the same tone;
F#m A
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,

E F#m
From the lightning in the sky
G#m A
As it passed me flying by,
C#m B
From the thunder and the storm,
A B
And the cloud that took the form
C#m G#m
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
A B7
Of a demon in my view.
