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 l 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 too late to counsel or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while, And afterward remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave. A vestige of the thoughts that once I had; better by far that you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
