You Will Forget Me Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
You Will Forget Me
You will forget me. The years are so tender,
They bind up the wounds which we think are so deep,
This dream of our youth will fade out as the splendour
Fades from the skies when the sun sinks to sleep,
The cloud of forgetfulness, over and over
Will banish the last rosy colours away,
And the fingers of time will weave garlands to cover
The scar which you think is a life-mark today.
You will forget me. The one boon you covet
Now above all things will soon. seem no prize,
And the heart, which you hold not in keeping to prove it
True or untrue, will lose worth in your eyes.
The one drop to-day, that you deem only wanting
To fill your life-cup to the brim, soon will seem
But a valueless mite; and the ghost that is haunting
The aisles of your heart will pass out with the dream.
You will forget me, will thank me for saying
The words which you think are so pointed with pain.
Time loves a new lay, and the dirge he is playing
Will change for you soon to a livelier strain.
I shall pass from your life, I shall pass out forever,
And these hours we have spent will be sunk in the past.
Youth buries its dead, grief kills seldom or never
And forgetfulness covers all sorrows at last.
This dream of our youth will fade out as the splendour Fades from the skies when the sun sinks to sleep, The cloud of forgetfulness, over and over Will banish the last rosy colours away, this i s a great and true vision of our existence. thank you. tony
Tender years! ! Rosy colours! ! ! To render the truth. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
So emotive and captivating too. The mood is great and the story nicely told.
You will forget me. The one boon you covet Now above all things will soon. seem no prize, And the heart, which you hold not in keeping to prove it True or untrue, will lose worth in your eyes.............. beautiful writing; everything is true; seen and unseen everything will be lost in the puzzling womb of time; in course of time love will be forgotten by darling and will be lost in the immense abyss forest of memory!

I shall pass from your life, I shall pass out forever, And these hours we have spent will be sunk in the past. Youth buries its dead, grief kills seldom or never And forgetfulness covers all sorrows at last. - ITALIAN: Scomparirò dalla tua vita, andrò via per sempre, E queste nostre ore affonderanno nel passato. La giovinezza seppellisce i suoi morti, il dispiacere uccide raramente o mai E la dimenticanza copre tutti i dolori, alla fine.
