A Farewell
Forget me, and remember me, O heart!
Forget me for the dear delight of days
We walked together down fair, fragrant ways:
Remember me for that I now depart.
For that I give our one sure hour of bliss
As venturing a distant promised peace,
Give joy, for hope that joy may ne'er decrease,—
Reluctant heart, forget me not for this.
Nay, keep me in your fairest thoughts, my fair;
Though all the sundering night be set to pain,
It shall be day when we two meet again,
In some far valley of the timeless air.
Forget me for the dear delight of days
We walked together down fair, fragrant ways:
Remember me for that I now depart.
For that I give our one sure hour of bliss
As venturing a distant promised peace,
Give joy, for hope that joy may ne'er decrease,—
Reluctant heart, forget me not for this.
Nay, keep me in your fairest thoughts, my fair;
Though all the sundering night be set to pain,
It shall be day when we two meet again,
In some far valley of the timeless air.
