I shall go back again to the bleak shore <br />And build a little shanty on the sand <br />In such a way that the extremest band <br />Of brittle seaweed shall escape my door <br />But by a yard or two; and nevermore <br />Shall I return to take you by the hand. <br />I shall be gone to what I understand, <br />And happier than I ever was before. <br />The love that stood a moment in your eyes, <br />The words that lay a moment on your tongue, <br />Are one with all that in a moment dies, <br />A little under-said and over-sung. <br />But I shall find the sullen rocks and skies <br />Unchanged from what they were when I was young.<br /><br />Edna St Vincent Millay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-shall-go-back-2/
