Weep for what thou'st lost, love- <br />Weep for what thou'st done- <br />Weep for what thou did'st not do, <br />And more for what thou'st done. <br />Time that's gone returneth never, <br />Keen repining lasteth ever; <br />Heart that's pierc'd refuseth gladness, <br />Melancholy causeth madness. <br /> <br /> <br />Yet if tears avail not, <br />Tears of fond regret; <br />Arm thy mind, and proudly girl, <br />Endeavour to forget. <br />Shouldst thou spend thy days in grieving, <br />What is past, there's no retrieving, <br />Once the hour of passion over, <br />Tear nor frown recalls a lover.<br /><br />Lady Caroline Lamb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/weep-for-what-thou-st-lost/
