SHALL I FORGET?

Christina Georgina Rossetti

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. )
