Remember me when I am gone away By Christina Rossetti

We Had Sweet Times Together! 

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 you should remember and be sad.
