As you forgot I may forget, / When summer dews cease to be wet. / When whippoorwills disdain the night, / When sun and moon are no more bright, / And all the stars at midnight set.
When jay birds sing, and thrushes fret, / When snowfalls come in flakes of jet, / When hearts that shelter love are light, / I may forget.
When mortal life no cares beset, / When April brings no violet, / When wrong no longer wars with right, / When all hope's ships shall heave in sight, / And memory holds no least regret, / I may forget.
