Remember

Lyrics

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 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.
