                   Remember


                   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.
