Edna St. Vincent Millay - Moon, that against the lintel of the westYour forehead lean...

Moon, that against the lintel of the westYour forehead lean until the gate be swung, Longing to leave the world and be at rest, Being worn with faring and no longer young, Do you recall at all the Carian hillWhere worn with loving, loving late you lay, Halting the sun because you lingered still, While wondering candles lit the Carian day?Ah, if indeed this memory to your mindRecall some sweet employment, pity me, That even now the dawn's dim herald see!I charge you, goddess, in the name of oneYou loved as well: endure, hold off the sun.
