Girl, Betrayed

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. FULMAHAMMAD SAIKH
