When your joys are of the sweetest And your heart is light and free; When your griefs are skimming fleetest, Love, one moment think of me. I’d not ask you to remember Me when life is dull and drear;When your hopes are but an ember From a cold and vanished year; Sorrow’s far too bleak a burden To retain in mem’ry’s hall. Friendship has no greater guerdon Than to happiness recall. So, when roses scent the twilight Air with ling’ring dew damp breath, Please remember me as eye-bright Faith remembers until death.
