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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EXPLICATION OF AN IMAGINARY TEXT by JAMES GALVIN IN A BURYING GROUND by SARA TEASDALE LET IT BE YOU by SARA TEASDALE SONGS OUT OF SORROW: REFUGE by SARA TEASDALE THE VIRGIN'S SLUMBER SONG by JOSEPH FRANCIS CARLIN MACDONNELL |
