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

    No writer such as this or any other yet to come should die in uncommon squalor stripped of ink and paper for lack of funds.

    love this poem as it expresses my feelings this very moment. brilliant piece from Poe once again as he always amazes me with his words, his poems, and his emotions. I applaud his works as it comes so effortlessly from his mind to his pen to the poem he produced. Bravo Poe!

    This is one of my favorite poems by Poe. It is so dark but written amazingly; the rhyming seems effortless.

    a wonderful poem written by a wonderful and well missed poet.
    i thank my 7th grade Honors English teacher for introducing Poe's work to me. went and saw a few of his works as plays. Love his work. :)

    i love this poem.. i remember when i first read it i was 12 i think? im not sure but i never quite understood what it meant but now it is probably one of my favorite poems.. its quite a dark poem but it is written so beautifully. i have recently done a 1000 word analysis on it for school. for me near the end of the poem its almost like he feels mocked like how the sky may be blue and everything around him is going on normal but he still feels isolated and alone.. im just ratteling off thoughts so this probably doesnt make much sense..

    I really liked this poem, so wise in the world of yourself, where there is no one else and no one else matters. I have felt loneliness and can feel the words you write, this is a great poem, thank you.

    Poe presents his sad realities jewelled from the child hood
    to the old
