FORGET THEE?
Forget thee ?—Bid the sun forget to rise with golden ray ; Forget thee?—Bid the silver moon shine not at close of day ; When in the clear blue vault of Heav’n, these glorious orbs are not, Then. —but I promise not till then, by me thou’lt be forgot. Forget thee ?—Bid the tender mother, aye her child forget ; Bid her upon her first, one’s grave ne’er sigh with deep regret; — When she with heart of adamant can gaze on that dear spot, Then,—but I promise not till then, by me thou’lt be forgot. Forget thee ?—Not while life doth last : and when this life is o’er, My spirit shall revisit scenes it priz’d so dear before, Shall watch beside thee many an hour, though thou perceive it not, And on thy melancholy brow, read, “Zam not forgot.”
