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

I am alone,
I'm all alone
I am alone,
I'm all alone

Then in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life, 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 it's autumn tint of gold

I am alone,
I'm all alone
I am alone,
I'm all alone

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
When the rest of heaven was blue,
Of a demon in my view!

I am alone,
I'm all alone
I am alone,
I'm all alone.
