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. E.A.P
Sear Thy every look and every grace so charm whenever I view thee, 'til death overtake me in the chase still will my hopes pursue thee
Then when my tedious hours have past, be this my last blessing given low at thine feet to breathe my last and die in sight of heaven
Temptation
Undressed
Lonely in a cell I still hear the voices of the wind And rule at times great areas Greater than you'll ever know This moment leaves no time to think The past is always limited But in my dreams dwells everything And never again shall I let you in
Insomnia
And restart And be a part again Unconsciousness will be your friend And you burn my soul down And create it again All I did is now wrong All I wanted is gone Just sleep later
