There are good words in the LA Times blog for the song U2 wrote for end credits for the new Sheridan film, Brothers. I thought the line - "Summer sang in me," was familiar, and so it is - See Edna St Vincent Millay's sonnet below. I wonder if she will get credit at all.....
What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts to-night, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply;
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain,
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in the winter stands the lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone;
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.
