Poem "A Lost Opportunity" by Robert Fuller Murray Animated Music Video w...

Not the novel, not the movie but the poem "Gone with the Wind"

I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind,
Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng,
Dancing, to put thy pale, lost lilies out of mind;
But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,
Yea, all the time, because the dance was long:
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

– Ernest Dowson, from Non Sum Qualis eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae,^[a] third stanza (1894).

Poem "Days of Wine and Roses" by Ernest Dowson

They are not long, the days of wine and roses:

Out of a misty dream

Our path emerges for a while, then closes

Within a dream.

– Ernest Dowson, from "Vitae Summa Brevis" (1896).

I got the poem from this page:
