Poems (Rossetti, 1901)/Shall I forget

by Christina Georgina Rossetti

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.)

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.)
