by Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)
Should one of us remember
Language: English
Should one of us remember, And one of us forget, I wish I knew what each will do -- But who can tell as yet? Should one of us remember, And one of us forget, I promise you what I will do -- And I'm content to wait for you, And not be sure as yet.
