This a poem by Christina Rossetti - 

Remember me when I am gone away

Gone far away into the silent land

When you can no more hold me by the hand

Nor I half turn to go yet turning to stay

Remember me when no more day by day

You tell me of our future that you plann'd

Only remember me, you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray

Yet if you should forget me for a while

And afterwards remember, do not grieve

For if the darkness and corruption leave

A vestige of the thoughts that once I had

Better by far you should forget and smile

Than that you should remember and be sad.
