"Ashes of Life" by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love has gone and left me and the days are all alike;
Eat I must, and sleep I will, - and would that night were here!
But ah! - to lie awake and hear the slow hours strike!
Would that it were day again! - with twilight near!

Love has gone and left me and I don't know what to do;
This or that or what you will is all the same to me;
But all the things that I begin I leave before I'm through, -
There's little use in anything as far as I can see.

Love has gone and left me, - and the neighbors knock and borrow,
And life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse, -
And to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow
There's the little street and this little house.
