More Edna St. Vincent Millay ~

What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why ~ by Edna St. Vincent Millay

What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
upon the glass and listen for reply,
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in the winter stands the lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone,
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.

And one more poem that originally appeared in Poetry magazine, June 1918 issue.
from Figs and Thistles:  First Fig

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends~
It gives a lovely light!
