My candle burns at both ends It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - It gives a lovely light.

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light.

Edna St. Vincent Millay in A Few Figs from Thistles (1920)
