Regret

Title:     Regret
Author: Richard Le Gallienne [More Titles by Le Gallienne]

One asked of regret,
And I made reply:
To have held the bird,
And let it fly;
To have seen the star
For a moment nigh,
And lost it
Through a slothful eye;
To have plucked the flower
And cast it by;
To have one only hope--
To die.

[The end]
Richard Le Gallienne's poem: Regret
