What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why (Sonnet XLIII)

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 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.

by Edna St. Vincent Millay
