Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, critic and editor best known for evocative short stories and poems that captured the imagination and interest of readers around the world.
Alone’ is often considered Poe’s most revealing work and with good reason. Here the tormented mind of the literary genius is pulled back and we have a glimpse into the early hours of an abrupt and troubled life.

Full Poem:
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 -
My all time fave from Edgar Allen Poe. "And all I loved, I loved alone"
We all do.
So what do you think it means?
@@Omni-King2099 i think he meant that all (person) he loved, he was always the one who fell in loved but the other (person) do not feel the same love as him.
@@joshuacantos5204 Interesting interpretation, but to me this is about one's own hobbies and passions. Like for Poe, maybe writing and poetry was a hobby which no one close to him understood and so he was always left to love these things, alone.
@@stynershiner1854 especially considering that Poe was the first American to live solely from his earnings as a writer. Not many loved literature like he did in the 1800’s
Sometimes I feel bad that CZcams doesn't have a heart button.

Well said ❤
“A person is, among all else, a material thing, easily torn and not easily mended.” “It wasn't only wickedness and scheming that made people unhappy, it was confusion and misunderstanding; above all, it was the failure to grasp the simple truth that other people are as real as you.”..................
And all I loved
I loved alone

Sad, but it's a masterpiece of a great poet !
It's my most cherished line of this masterpiece. He has always been my favorite mind in poetry, as well as a free spoken thinker.. After my auto accident I now feel alone in a world of continuous poetry flowing through my entire being as I see the world around, which is why this line soothes me in an odd saddening way.
Shane Morris is one of the best narrators
He narrates based on his own soul level relation with poems. I often listen through his voice to a piece more than I listen to a music perhaps everyday in the past few months. God bless you man looking forward to hear more from you.
I'm becoming accustomed.....I prefer the flow of words thru my Own Sensibilites....
This man. I hurt for him.
He wrote words the way Chopin composed music.
I read his complete short stories collection. Absolutely staggering. Anyone who disagreed at the time was clearly jealous. Not a syllable of his writing could be improved.
@UCY6eRghSJ1YzD3M-6Tlnvvw I found the complete tales and poems book in a store. But there are used ones on eBay. Also try your library. There's even an audio book version.👣
@@j.d.thompson3505 hi ..I also purchased the complete tales and poems on ebay for £3 ..ohh what a find ..
Will treasure this gem forever...
Khalil Gibran's Defeat recited by Shane Morris gives me goosebumps
One of my favorites 💕💖💯....
Cried 😢
How this man took tremendous pain and sorrow, and made it art. I grew up just a few blocks from Poe cottage in the Bronx. I wish I had an outlet for my pain. I love this man. A true genius. I probably memorized everything he ever wrote.
Why is not a spotify playlist!?!? Please!!! I love the content of this channel, the poems and narrators are superbly deep and amazing.
YES PLEASE
YES PLEASE!!!!
That’s true! The narrators are truly expressing the poems with great emotion! Love listening to them!
You are absolutely right! They do a wonderful job, all.
You can’t go wrong with Whitman poems. Lots of emotion!
" I could not bring
My passions from a common spring"
This line tells everything !!!
Listening to this in the dark alone. It’s haunting
Listening to this breaks my heart, Poe truly was a genius
My Favorite poem...It's my whole life in a few short sentences.... I've loved alone.
my favorite poem of all times... magestic
🔥The reader makes this piece come to life
He's the reason I've started listening to poetry on CZcams. It makes much more sense than when you read it to yourself it's true!! 😅❤️
@@smoothie3376 I know right 😂
Don't stop there.
Challenge your mind.
Actually, the opposite. The reader fuckd it up
Yup!
All I love, I love alone a line that hits me differently
Wow, the demon part really 'took the cake'.
POE what a mind, absolutely deep as the ocean..Genius.!! read perfectly by Shane Morris..T.Y.
🙏🏽
👍👍❤️
Genius

Alone
by “edgar allen poe”🖤🖤
You missed out spring
The last few months I've found myself listening to the poems Shane Morris reads as often as I listen to music. He has his own playlist on my phone 👍
"When the rest of heaven was blue, of a
Demon in my view"
I can relate
Shane I also recommend a poem called "Rendezvous With Death,"
Can you please explain that line?
@@hidan696 when others see fun, or something beautiful, i am lost in my own demons that only i know and don't wanna share here,
So that's"what others see blue heaven, i see my demons"
@@hidan696, the human eyes often sees familiar shapes in clouds. Sometimes a hat, a tree, your house - anything. The person from the poem, however, saw a cloud that took the form of a demon. And, to add to that, he saw this "when the rest of heaven was blue"; in other words, in his childhood. It just intensifies how this person, which I deem to be Poe himself, differed from the others since childhood. A kid would've seen something bright, probably, yet he saw a demon. And then, you have the key verse of this poem "And All I lov'd, I lov'd alone".
A complete masterpiece of a poem! No less skillfull or impactful than The Crow, his most famous one. A poet who resembles him is Fernando Pessoa, a portuguese poet. He so much dominated portugueses that, translated, almost all of his poems lose their essence, their strenght - ther impact. He also translated The Crow to portuguese. Had to make a few changes here and there, obviously, but, given the difficulty of it, the finished product is prideworthy.
@@lenasthy4146 Edgar Allan Poe being different since childhood.
I can relate to this so much I'm an INFP too
But being idealistic is like living reality when you're actually an utopian
So powerful and sad --- brings tears to my eyes. Reminds me of someone I know --- he doesn't even know I care 😭
I have the word Alone tattooed on me, because of this poem. I know none would get it, but this poem as a whole has defined my life.
I think it defines a lot of us.
@@paulanthony5274 Maybe?
@@patrickbertlein4626 Meaning you aren't alone my friend. No pun intended. Or rudeness. I feel many of us are this way, I am too.
❤❤
that voice! Touches the soul
With this voice, the verses get more deep..with this voice, all the words goes straight in the heart 💙
I love these so much , please God keep these on youtube. Keep making more! Thank you! Thank you!
This is pure poetry...One can feel it flow in the blood stream
Sometimes a single poem is enough to tell my life story 💔
❤❤
You are not alone!
My favorite piece. Feel it. really feel it.
What a strong, deep, scholar, and truly powerful life poetry by Edgar Allan Poe.
Thanks for uploading This poetry.
Shane Morris a une voix superbe, profonde!
FANTASTIC......
Poignant, and very relatable.
I love his poems and I love his face ❤️
What a poem! I send love to the soul of Edgar Allen Poe. Dear, tortured man that he was, I hope that love can give him some peace and dearly-earned rest.
what a beautiful voice,well said
Poe’s tales may seem as a nightmare full of illnesses,madness,death ,ugly murders,searches in the depth of tombs,and mysterious cries at midnight.His imagination is remarkable,his use of metaphors is striking...his heroes are insane ,neurotic or about to be such...it is thought that his characters are nothing but a reflection of himself...he makes the reader face the extremes of known and unknown,visible and invisible,fancy and reality in other words the twilight of the human mind...mostly using at ending Reason as a guide to solve Issues ...Edgar Allan Poe is the greatest investigator of the human psyche and remains my favorite short story teller .
This is absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Deep feelings, out there’s is such a sadness in the voice of the narrator!
I lost my job because of the pandemic so I started a meditation and healing channel🙏🏽
Sorry about your job, but poetry has the power to heal, don’t you think?
I guess I have never related to a poem so much. One of my favourite authors 🖤
Beautiful poem
POE…
From childhood, grew his knowledge of good and evil as inseparable opposites. He saw that each defines the other to form a unity in the tension of their polarity. Poe embraced the good as accentuated and contrasted by its opposite. He saw that you can’t have one without the other. He realized that only truth can tell them apart. He learned to indulge the ‘light’ by embracing the ‘dark.’
I take English class and i am pleased to have the opportunity , to have known about Edgar Allan Poe !
Got goosebumps 😮😮
my god, you can't make me cry like this...
I once made a song to this poem using a crappy 6 quid guitar and recorded it in 1 take. It sounds great considering that it was recorded with a terrible laptop and no studio effects whatsoever. But still today, every time I listen to that song I have the sense that it's the most beautiful song I have created. The chorus uses a mesh up picking up from Jeff Buckley's 'Grace'. The song I made to Edgar Alan Poe's poem "Alone" speaks so deeply to me because it goes back to a time I was a university student completely lost, lonely and utterly depressed. Every time I hear that song I remember the 'mountain' I had to beat to become what I am today.
Superb
Thank you.
Finally, an awesome voice for beauty. I request The Prophet.
this is my favorite guy, really. i love making poems myself, i've also seen his quote video. and this also inspires to write music i create
This was beautiful
We want more!
Voice is so good .
Every time i hear this poem or read i cry…. It is like he knew my deepest sorrow… thank you EAP
❤❤
I mistakenly thought that I’d read everything that he published. I stand corrected. Read his treatise explaining how he composed poetry if you care to gaze into the mind of a super genius.
Your voice is awesome sir.
Please narrate more of his Works ❤️
It's really inspiring
And all I lov'd, I lov'd alone.....
❤
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

Everything I have forgotten in my mind:
But I can't forget your face in my eyes!

This poet for my mom from long distance miss you ❣️❣️
If you need it on spotify, you don't need it.
Interesting poem. Did you know it is an internal look at Edgar Allan Poe's life, especially childhood
Didn't know before you have for specifics poem channel for motivation @Beknown @Redfrost Motivation
Yeah, Edgar Allan Poe is an INFP & me too.
So basically INFP is the most idealistic personality in the world.
& The poet is so true we're really different even as children (INFPs)

"When the rest of heaven was blue of a demon in my view" and this for me hits more
Powerful stuff, I love it!
For the life I have, I have loved alone. The forsaken soul that was or is, is not alone when being lonely is never the same as being left alone. Lonely is being left out, in my experience to the word ALONE discloses self to the world around you.
Edgar Alone Poe,
The Mylène Farmer 's song, Allan, is so true that my heart bleeds for you .
Brilliant narration, as deep as the content. 💯
... Do you have , or could you narrate something about HP Loverkraft? 💯 Thanks in advance.
Amazing and incredible, the voice telling this is also great who does it? I recently started singing but my voice sucks
It is difference in perception

The lines which I often feel one with:
"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--"
🌱

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 LOVDI LOYD ALONE....
