Remember by Christina Rossetti, somewhat similar to her "song"

the movie "Possession" might be loosely based on her life. 

 

Remember

 

Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)

 

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.

 

思念

 

請思念我當我遠走,

去那片遙遠的靜土;

當你不能再把我的手握住,

我也不能選擇去留。

請思念我當你不再日複一日

講著心中我們的未來:

隻要思念我就好;你明白

忠告和祈禱已是太遲。

即使有一刻你把我遺忘

再又思念, 不要悲歎:

因為假如腐爛和黑暗

讓我的心思隻留殘跡,

你該忘掉我而去歡暢 

總好過沉於思念和悲戚。
