“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!” WantYearsHeartDoePainLastsRememberFacesSidesMemoriesFeetMissingMy HeartQuietMountainHundredRainSnowBitterSmokeEaseReliefBitternessYearningTidesLast YearEnteringLiedWeepingLanesWant HimShrinkingNo MemoryQuiet PlaceRemembering Him Book:Millay: Poems Source: Millay: Poems
