Heres a virtual movie of Edgar Allan Poe (1809 -- 1849) reading his much loved and dark poem "Alone" Alone" is a 22-line poem, originally written in 1829 and left untitled and unpublished during his lifetime. The original manuscript was signed "EA Poe" and dated March 17, 1829.[1] In February of that year, Poe's foster mother Francis Allan had died. In September 1875, the poem, which had been in the possession of a family in Baltimore, was published with its title in Scribner's Monthly. The editor, EL Didier, also reproduced a facsimile of the manuscript, though he admitted he added the date himself.[2] The poem is now often included in anthologies. "Alone" is often interpreted as autobiographical, expressing the author's feelings of isolation and inner torment. Poet Daniel Hoffman believed "Alone" was evidence that "Poe really was a haunted man The poem, however, is an introspective about Poe's youth written when he was only 20 years old..

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 lov'd, I loved 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.
