1. Remember 

BY CHRISTINA ROSSETTI

Remember me when I am gone away,  A


Gone far away into the silent land;  B
When you can no more hold me by the hand,  B
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.  A
Remember me when no more day by day  A
 You tell me of our future that you plann'd:  B Rhyme Scheme of Remember by

It will be late to counsel then or pray. A  CDE CDE
Yet if you should forget me for a while  C
         And afterwards remember, do not grieve:  D

Better by far you should forget and smile  C
         Than that you should remember and be sad. E

It is the star to every wand'ring bark,  C
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.  D
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks  E
Within his bending sickle's compass come;  F
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, E 
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.  F
If this be error and upon me prov'd,  G
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd. G
