Remember, Poem by Alfred De Musset

Poem by Alfred De Musset Collection New PoemsPeriod 19th century

(Vergiss mein nicht)
(Words set to the music of Mozart)

Remember, when the timid Dawn
Opens to the Sun its enchanted palace;
Remember, when the pensive night
Passes dreaming beneath its silver veil;
At the call of pleasure when your breast throbs,
At the sweet dreams of evening when the shadow invites you,
Listen deep in the woods
A voice murmuring:
Remember.

Remember, when the fates
Have separated me from you forever,
When sorrow, exile and the years
Have withered this despairing heart;
Think of my sad love, think of the final farewell!
Absence nor time are nothing when one loves.
As long as my heart beats,
Always it will say to you
Remember.

Remember, when beneath the cold earth
My broken heart will sleep forever;
Remember, when the solitary flower
On my tomb gently opens.
I will see you no more; but my immortal soul
Will return near you like a faithful sister.
Listen, in the night,
A voice that moans:
Remember.
