Under my head till morning

Millay, Edna St. Vincent. "I Know I Am But Summer." The Harp-Weaver, and Other Poems. Harper & Brothers, 1923, I. 1.

I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.
