From Childhood's Hour Song Lyrics

From childhood's hour, he's been his only friend
Endless solitude until the end
As other's saw he could not bring
His passions from a common spring (Common spring)
In his growth he was raised and taught well

All that he loved, he loved alone
In his youth the surroundings drew nearer still
Like an autumn breeze that gives its chill
The thoughts were not keeping up with the learning spree

Leaving him behind the others could not see (Could not see)
Show me hope, if I'd ever to last (To last)
