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 to 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 there 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.
