You need to enable multiline mode:

 MULTILINE

public static final int *MULTILINE*

Enables multiline mode.

In multiline mode the expressions ^ and $ match just after or just before,
respectively, a line terminator or the end of the input sequence. By
default these expressions only match at the beginning and the end of the
entire input sequence.

Multiline mode can also be enabled via the embedded flag expression (?m).
