Remember
A poem by Christina Rosetti (1830-1894)
​
Remember, the poem
​
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 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:
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.
Treasure, the song
​
She whispers "Please remember me When I am gone from here"
She whispers "Please remember me but not with tears"
Remember I was always true,
Remember that I always tried,
Remember I loved only you,
Remember me and smile
For it's better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry
Remember I was always true
Remember that I always tried
Remember I loved only you
Remember me and smile
For it's better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry
