Remember – Christina Rossetti
Remember me when I am
gone away,
Gone
far away into the silent land;
When
you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go
yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more
day by day
You
tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only
remember me; you understand
It will be late to
counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget
me for a while
And
afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For
if the darkness and corruption leave
A
vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should
forget and smile
Than
that you should remember and be sad.
