Remember me

Remember me when I am gone away

gone far away into the silent land 

when you can no longer hold me by the hhand 

nor I half turn to go yet turning stay 

remember when no more day by day 

you tell me of our future that you pplanned 

only remember me you understand 

it will be late to counsel then or pray 

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 that you should forget and smile 

then that you should remember and be sad.
