It is not the wind that wakes with the day

At Dawn:

    Are not the forest fringes wet
    With tears? Is not the voice of all regret
    Breaking out of the dark earth’s heart?
    She too, she too, has loved and lost; and though
    She turned last night in disdain
         Away from the sunset-embers,
    From her soul she can never depart;
    She can never depart from her pain.
    Vainly she strives to forget;
    Beautiful in her woe,
         She awakes in the dawn and remembers.

Alfred Noyes.
