REMEMBER By 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 planned; Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then to 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 once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you
should remember and be sad.
