REMEMBER ME!
Remember me—Oh! give me place
In thy true soul for ever!—
Then shall I run my mortal race—
Wearied—desponding never.
In thy true soul for ever!—
Then shall I run my mortal race—
Wearied—desponding never.
I care not though my Life's faint star
Mid stormy glooms be shrouded,
If thy thoughts of me, Beloved, are
Untroubled and unclouded.
Mid stormy glooms be shrouded,
If thy thoughts of me, Beloved, are
Untroubled and unclouded.
My true, deep Life 'tis there I live,
For me all else seems hollow:
If those deep thoughts to the Winds you give—
Methinks my Soul must follow!
For me all else seems hollow:
If those deep thoughts to the Winds you give—
Methinks my Soul must follow!

Remember me!—shouldst thou forget,
One hope alone could cheer me—
The hope that my unsoothed regret
Soon to the grave must bear me!—
One hope alone could cheer me—
The hope that my unsoothed regret
Soon to the grave must bear me!—
Those who are loved, as thou art loved,
They know not what they're doing—
When they spurn those thoughts, thrust back, reproved—
That still should be pursuing!—
They know not what they're doing—
When they spurn those thoughts, thrust back, reproved—
That still should be pursuing!—
In thy deep Heart, oh! give me place,
There, there must I be cherished—
Or let not Earth retain one trace
How I have loved—and perished!—
There, there must I be cherished—
Or let not Earth retain one trace
How I have loved—and perished!—
Remember me!—Oh! let me think—
While mortal years are flying—
We're bound by a perpetual link—
Made one by love undying!
While mortal years are flying—
We're bound by a perpetual link—
Made one by love undying!
