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

    the poem speaks of his being how different he was from everyone else how he view things differently than others even in the common simple joys that most people enjoyed in creation his passion and views were dark and gloomily, I think this poem gives a little en-site into Poe's life and how he viewed it,

    This poem still resonates with me just as it did the first time I read it. Rhyme like rock-n-roll will never die, as long as we have masters like Poe to read.

    I can relate to this easily. The written pain and thought of abyss is clear, and that is how it feels. Just a complete and utter master piece.
