9. 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 around 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 --

10. How to Analyze a Poem
1. The Title
2. Figures of Speech
A)Metaphor
B)Similes "My love is like a red, red rose,"
C)Symbols
In Edgar Allen Poe's classic poem "The
Raven," it's pretty obvious the raven
doesn't symbolize good news or happy
times

11. Solo
Desde el tiempo de mi niñez, no he sido
como otros eran, no he visto
como otros veían, no pude sacar
mis pasiones desde una común primavera.
De la misma fuente no he tomado
mi pena; no se despertaría
mi corazón a la alegría con el mismo tono;
y todo lo que quise, lo quise solo.
Entonces -en mi niñez- en el amanecer
de una muy tempestuosa vida, se sacó
desde cada profundidad de lo bueno y lo malo
el misterio que todavía me ata:
desde el torrente o la fuente,
desde el rojo peñasco de la montaña,
desde el sol que alrededor de mí giraba
en su otoño teñido de oro,
desde el rayo en el cielo
que pasaba junto a mí volando,
desde el trueno y la tormenta,
y la nube que tomó la forma
(cuando el resto del cielo era azul)
de un demonio ante mi vista.
