If You Forget
 (Sung text for setting by I. Venables)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
Let me forget -- Let me forget,
I am weary of remembrance,
And my brow is ever wet,
With tears of my remembrance,
With the tears and bloody sweat,-
Let me forget
If you forget – if you forget,
Then your children must remember,
And their brow be ever wet,
With the tears of their remembrance,
With the tears and bloody sweat,
If you forget.

Composition:
