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 too 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.
