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
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
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
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.
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.
When I am dead
When I am dead, my dearest
Sing no sad songs for me
Plant thou no roses at my head
Nor shady cypress tree
Be the green grass above me&
With showers and dewdrops wet
And if thou wilt, remember
And if thou wilt, forget
Sing no sad songs for me
Plant thou no roses at my head
Nor shady cypress tree
Be the green grass above me&
With showers and dewdrops wet
And if thou wilt, remember
And if thou wilt, forget
I shall not see the shadows
I shall not feel the rain
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set
Haply I may remember
And haply may forget
I shall not feel the rain
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set
Haply I may remember
And haply may forget
