Скачать или смотреть Alone | Poe's Childhood Poem | Lesvodian Musical Adaptation

The Lesvodian poetry tribute has produced the newest piece: A new musical adaptation of another brilliant and timeless work of Edgar Allan Poe.

His 1829 poem, "Alone." describes a lonely, different childhood, the realization of the otherness and some dark thoughts. He wrote it when he was just 20 years old, and as a lot of his work it clearly shows autobiographical attributes.

This is an original musical arrangement by Lesvodian as well as a cinematic interpretation which is trying to match the atmosphere of a life lived apart in the 19th century.

LYRICS
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 lov’d 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—
