Remember Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti
Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
just amazing! i am listening to it the first time and its great! a beautiful poem!
This poem reminded me of high school when we were in Literature class- a poem that marked the beginning of my love for poetry, beautiful and profound words, excellent form and theme.
This is the poem I told my better half to read as a part of my euology at my funeral. It is romantic which Christina Rossetti was very romantic.
Value your husband, your wife, your kids, your friends, etc. for there will be a time, you will just remember them and if you were right with them, you wouldn't regret anything. Deep and beautiful poem.

This poem deals with the themes of love, death and loss and is an expression of Rossetti's way of dealing with the grief of losing someone you held very close to your heart. Beautiful poem, simple but so enchanting.
