Poems (Rossetti, 1901)/Shall I forget
SHALL I FORGET?
SHALL I forget on this side of the grave?
I promise nothing: you must wait and see
Patient and brave.
(O my soul, watch with him and he with me.)
I promise nothing: you must wait and see
Patient and brave.
(O my soul, watch with him and he with me.)
Shall I forget in peace of Paradise?
I promise nothing: follow, friend, and see
Faithful and wise.
(O my soul, lead the way he walks with me.)
I promise nothing: follow, friend, and see
Faithful and wise.
(O my soul, lead the way he walks with me.)
