FORGET ME NOT.
Forget me not though to thy heart's desire, Some livelier flame n waken in thy soul, Bidding all thoughts of other days retire, Before the radiance of a happier goal. Tours not the guilt that sent my inmost woe My dreary, sad, irrevocable lot And in the distance it were sweet to know That you forget me not. Forget me not if in thy heart are cares, (Yet surely thou art far too fair for grief) If unshed tears give sudden vent to prayers In which, the careworn soul must find relief. If for the bright cerulean light of day, The darkened light shall be your changeless lot, Fear not in such a passive hour to pray— God will forget you not. Forget me not if in an idle dream, Some prescient spirit shall thy fate foretell, How day by day a purer, brighter gleam Of joy unsullied in thy heart shall dwell. -E&ign, stately queen, you with your beauty wild, ■ And happy be your everlasting lot j Mine was the fault, that I should love thee, child. No more — forget me not. M. P. Gill.
