+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.`,
