“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. “
