“I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —”

Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) American author, poet, editor and literary critic

" Alone http://gothlupin.tripod.com/valone.html", l. 1-8 (written 1829, published 1875).
Context: 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
