let me not forget
If it is not my portion to meet thee in this life then let me ever feel that I have missed thy sight -- let me not forget for a moment, let me carry the pangs of this sorrow in my dreams and in my wakeful hours.
……
I saw thee weep-----the big bright tear
Came o'er that eye of blue
And then,methought,it did appear
A violet dropping drew
I saw thee smile-----the sapphire's blaze
Beside thee ceased to shine
It could not match the living rays
That filled that glance of thine
As clouds from yonder sun receive
A deep and mellow dye
Which scarce the shade of coming eve
Can banish from the sky
Those smiles unto the moodiest mind
Their own pure joy impart
Their sunshine leaves a glow behind
That lightens o'er the heart
我见过你哭
