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 half turn to go yet turning stay,
Remember me when no more day by day,
You tell me of our future planned,
Only remember me; you understand,
It will be late to counsel 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.

wtf?

When I am dead my dearest
Sing no sad songs for me
Plant thou no roses at my head
Nor shady cypress tree
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dew drops wet
And happily thou wilt remember
And happily wilt forget

Also by C. Rossetti which I'm guessing must also be out of copyright.... I hope I remembered it correctly.
