regret (v.)
O last regret, regret can die!
Youth is a blunder; manhood a struggle; old age a regret.
Dear as remember'd kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign'd
On lips that are for others; deep as love,—
Deep as first love, and wild with all regret.
Oh death in life, the days that are no more!
