Is it possible that this is a misquote?

The nearest to this question is :-

We look before and after,
And pine for what is not:
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.

try thinking of it this way: we look for (answers) before
we look for (answers) after
but still we have no answer.
Maybe it's just trying to say that there IS NO ANSWER.

just a thought
