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 plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet...

Si dura ley, señora,
Impide que mi voz presente y viva,
O encadenada en letra mensajera,
Amante vuele a acariciar tu oído,
¿Consentirás al menos
Que el ritmo vago, como el aire libre,
Indomeñable, etéreo,
Que ni montes ni alcázares detienen
Y halaga y duerme al velador tirano,
Y nada dice y lo revela todo,
Las alas tienda... -
I Remember, I remember
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn.
He never came a wink too soon,
Nor brought too long a day;
But now I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away!I remember, I remember
The roses, red and white,
The violets, and the lily-cups...
