Well, I have lost you; and I lost you fairly;
In my own way, and with my full consent.
Say what you will, kings in a tumbrel rarely
Went to their deaths more proud than this one went.

I will confess; but that's permitted me;
Day dried my eyes; I was not one for keeping
Rubbed in a cage a wing that would be free.

I might have held you for a summer more,
But at the cost of words I value highly,
And no such summer as the one before.

I shall have only good to say of you. — Edna St. Vincent Millay
