Christina Rossetti: Poems

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.)
