Lament is a collection of poetry by Edna St. Vincent Millay, published in 1923. The collection is divided into two parts, the first of which is a series of sonnets that explore the themes of love, loss, and mortality. The second part of the collection is a series of longer poems that explore the same themes, but in a more expansive and lyrical way. The collection is a reflection on the fragility of life and the inevitability of death, and Millay's poems are filled with a sense of longing and regret. The collection is a powerful exploration of the human experience, and Millay's words are both beautiful and heartbreaking.
