Remember

by Christina Georgina Rossetti

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

请记住我，当我离去时
我去到那遥远的静谧的土地
那时你再不能牵住我的手
而我也再不能欲去还留

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

请记住我，当你再也不能日复一日
向我诉说着对未来的想望
只要你还记着我，你明白的
到那时再相劝或祈祷已然迟矣

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

但如果你暂时将我遗忘
而后又忆起，请不要忧伤
因为那黑暗和腐朽之乡
倘若能留下些许我过去的思想
我宁愿你能将我微笑地忘记
也远远胜似你把我悲伤地记起
