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 in to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day, You tell me of our future plann'd: Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
If you forget me for a while
After remember, do not grieve:
A vestage of thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
