My every thought will be of thee,

Though I may be forgot.

If we should meet in after years,

Thou’lt find that I am changed;

My eyes grow dim, my cheeks grow pale,

But not my faith estrang’d:

From mem’ry’s page the hand of death,

Alone thy name shall blot,

Forget, forsake me, if thou wilt,

Thou’lt never be forgot.
