Classic Poem

Forget me not! or grave or gay
Joyous or sad whate'er thy lot
Whether to sigh, or smile, or pray,
Forget me not! forget me not!

Forget me not! O! no no no!
I could not bear to be forgot
Whate'er I am — where'er I go
Forget me not! forget me not!

Forget me not! — the world of me
May say and deem — I care not what —
I ask but one fond thought from thee
Forget me not! forget me not!

Forget me not! by night or day
Whate'er deceit may subtly plot
To lead thy heart from mine astray
Forget me not! forget me not!

Forget me not! O let no spell
Remembrance from thy bosom blot
By every tone of voice and shell
Forget me not! forget me not!

Forget me not! my dust, my fame
May all in ... cold obstruction rot...
So — thou wilt but preserve my name
Forget me not! forget me not!
