FORGET-ME-NOT
1
The blue flower, Forget-me-not:
What can it mean love,
Growing near the river grot,
In meadows green love.
2
The flowers they are heaven's blue,
And bright like thee love:
When e'er these flowers you view,
Then think of me love.
3
In the morning then dearest,
Think of me when thou'rt roaming,
In the spring meadow, fairest,
Or the grove in the gloaming.
4
By the river at noon love,
Blue Forget-me-nots see;
By the light of the moon love,
In its hue think of me:
5
By the sweet walks of evening;
By the stars in the sky;
By the moon when its beaming;
By the sun when its high.
6
Heavens poesy is talking,
In the evening of thee;
And when thou art walking,
Sweet --- think of me.
July 28th 1844.
