My friend Carla just posted to Facebook a comment that she doesn't care for poetry, mostly. I rarely read poetry, but I once heard a recording of Edna St. Vincent Millay reading "Childhood is the Kingdom Where Nobody Dies." The recording was from a book called "Poetry speaks," which was distributed with three CDs of the poets reading their own works.

Although it is not in the version linked here, in the recording Millay added one more line after the very end: "Oh, God! Mother!"

It ripped my heart out.
