An adaptation of "Remember" - by Christina 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 day
And aftewards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts but for a while,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
