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：
因為假如腐蝕和黑暗
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。
