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 have turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
  You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
  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 that you should forget and smile
  Then that you should remember and be sad.
