"Let It Be Forgotten"
by Sara Teasdale


Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,
     Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold,
Let it be forgotten for ever and ever,
     Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.

If anyone asks, say it was forgotten
     Long and long ago,
As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall
     In a long forgotten snow.
