Remember
[英]克裏斯蒂娜·喬治娜·羅塞蒂
Christina Georgina Rossetti
請記住我，當我離開
去了那遙遠的寧靜之地；
當你不再握緊我的手
我不會再欲去還留，猶豫不決。
請記住我，當你不再為我們的未來
日日憧憬
隻希望你能記住我；你明白
那時再商議或祈禱為時已晚。
請不要傷心，如果你一時將我忘卻，
後來又重新憶起。
因為倘若黑暗和腐朽還殘留
我曾經掛念的一絲痕跡，
我寧願你忘卻而微笑，
也不願你銘記而悲傷。
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 stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned：
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.
