Remember - Sonnet

Topics: classic

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.
