XXIII. “REMEMBER”
If ever comes the day when thou dost failMy heart's deep inner truth to understand,—
If sorrow invades us,—if this songful land
Be ever darkened and love's skies turn pale
While summer's bright leaves tremble at the gale,—
Remember then—remember evermore—
I loved thee, loved thee, loved thee; through the roar
Of evil wintry winds, let that wild wail
“I loved thee, loved thee, loved thee,” reach thine ear.
By heaven, by God, if all else were untrue,—
If all the stars in heaven's height quaked for fear
And tremor shook the sea's eternal blue,—
“I loved thee, loved thee, loved thee” yet would be
Heard above death-throes of the stars and sea.
