Remember (Sonnet)

Title:     Remember (Sonnet)
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

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.

[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: Remember (sonnet)
