Poem about Everything

Forget thee?

                                   Forget Thee? If to dream by night and muse on thee by day;

                                        If all worship deep and wild a poet's heart can pay;

                        If prayers in absence breathed for thee to Heaven's protecting power;

                                   If winged thoughts that flit to thee with all my future lot -

                               If this thou callest forgetting, thou, indeed, shalt be forget!

                              Forget thee? Bid the forest-birds forget their sweetest tune;

                                   Forget thee? Bid the sea forget to swell beneath the moon;

                           Bid the thirsty flowers forget to drink the eve's refreshing dew;

                      Thyself forget thine own dear land, and its mountains wild and blue.

                                 Forget each old familiar face, each ong-remember'd spot -

                      When these things are forgot by thee, then thou shalt be forgot!

                           Keep, if thou wilt, thy maiden peace, still calm and fancy - free,

                      For God forbid thy gladsome heart should grow less glad for me;

                         Yet, while that heart is still unwon, oh! bid not mine to rove,

                            But let it nurse its humble faith and uncomplaining love;

                        If these, preserved for patient years, at last avai me not -

                    Forget me then; but ne'er believe that thou canst be forgot!
