BLUE SUN ROOM FILK
Alone poem, by Edgar Allan Poe, I just though it fitted.
CATEGORY: FILK TIMES READ: 2420 RATING: 10 SERIES: FIREFLY
The thing is... this is not mine. The poem belongs to long time dead Mr. Edgar Allan Poe. But I love it, and then I read little message from the hands of blue guys to River (I recommed you to read it, and if you liked Buffy, I recommend it twice) and it hit me how easy the poem fitted in the girl's live. Here it goes: 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. 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.
Here it goes:
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.
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.
