  • TIME DOES NOT BRING RELIEF

    Time does not bring relief; you all have lied 
    Who told me time would ease me of my pain! 
    I miss him in the weeping of the rain; 
    I want him at the shrinking of the tide; 
    The old snows melt from every mountain-side, 
    And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane; 
    But last year's bitter loving must remain 
    Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide. 
    There are a hundred places where I fear 
    To go - so with his memory they brim. 
    And entering with relief some quiet place 
    Where never fell his foot or shone his face 
    I say, 'There is no memory of him here!' 
    And so stand stricken, so remembering him. 


    ~ Edna St Vincent Millay (1892 -1950)
