Remember me when I have finally gone away Gone far away into a similar land Where you can still hold my ghostly hand And for eternity upon my image will your gaze stay
Remember me when you for once need not say That the future I envisioned is close at hand Only remember your words, so befitting my demand Will be too late to take back from your tongues betray
Yet, should you forget your words cruelly said And forgiveness impossible, do not grieve For if the darkness and guilt leave I will still remain in light and shade
Better, perhaps, to forget my cries of pain Than remember and be afraid
