Poems

YOU WILL REMEMBER
:::You will remember,
In soft June days or chill December,
Will memory haunt you with a vague regret,
You'll not forget, you'll not forget.
We loved and laughed together, you and I,
And dreamed our dreams in those old days gone by;
I saw my heaven in your eyes of blue,—
   I deemed so true,—
And I was more than all the world to you,
Then since such memories cling to my heart yet,
Can you forget? Can you forget?

   You will remember,
In soft June days and chill December,
Though you may strive to stifle all regret,
You'll not forget! you'll not forget!
Fate came and brought you her fair gift of gold,
That like the Fays, may turn to leaves and mould;
And for the gold you scorned the golden heart,—
   Oh, trusting heart,—
