Remember Me! pg. 51

Remember Me!

Remember me, when the fading dawn

Casts purple flowers on the earth

Remember me, when the silent nights

Wraps Heaven [and] stars around these rocks

And when the spell of remembrance rolls down around you

Or you close your eyes in a dream

                                    Remember Me!

Remember me, when forever

The necessity of cruel[1] fate separates us

And though it leaves us sometimes far apart in the world

To a broken heart love is still an eternity

Now to whisper softly in the midnight hour

Longing for you from [my] heart, [my] voice flows

                                    Remember Me!

Remember me, when somewhere

A lonely, silent grave swallows life’s torments

When a white flower flares up over the tomb

When sorrow over the future seizes you

My spirit comes flowing amidst the evening stillness

And your fading heart hears a voice

                                                Remember Me!
