You capture something so rare, Sofia, yet something we all feel.
The closest expression I know that resembles your beautiful piece is Tennyson's "Tears, Idle Tears":
Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy Autumn-fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more...
And three more stanzas.
Wonderful writing.
