REMEMBER ME.
Yes dear one ! thus the envied train,
Of those around thee, homage pay;

To think of him that's far away ?
Thy form, thine eye, thine angel smile,
For weary years I may not see;
But wilt thou not sometimes the while,
My sister dear, remember me?

But wilt thou never kindly deign,

For weary years I may not see;
But wilt thou not sometimes the while,
My sister dear, remember me?
