Edgar Allan Poe

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not read more

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen

My passions from a common spring.

My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.

I have great faith in fools - self-confidence my friends will call it.

Golden bells!
What a world of happiness their harmony foretells

Hear the mellow wedding bells,
Golden bells!
What a world of happiness their harmony foretells
Through the balmy air of night
How they ring out their delight!
From the molten golden notes,
And all in tune
What a liquid ditty floats
To the turtle-dove that listens while she gloats
On the moon!
