Regex match each line that contains character

How can I make a regex that matches all new-line-characters ONLY when it begins with a " ' " character? Example:

'Hello World > Match "/n" after "d"
Hello World > No match

'Test > Match "/n" after "t"
Test > No match

'''''Xample > Match "/n" after "e"
Xample > No match

WOW 'He > Match "/n" after "e"

Thanks in advance ;)

Edit: All that I want are place tags on the BEGINNING and at the ENDING of each line that has this "comments". Like this:

WOW <blabla>'Hello<blabla>

The beginning I can just normally replace " ' " with " ' ", but the ending is a bit more difficult.
