Sonnet.
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.
