What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under ______ head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ______ tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and ______ for reply,
And in my heart there stirs a ______ pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn ______ me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in winter ______ the lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished ______ by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone,
______ only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.
