                     remember
    firelight fades and darkness drapes its years around
        eyes grown dim and shadows lingering in dusk
                     remember
        now alone but memories rise and softly lead
        to the one whose solemn sorrows never fade
                     remember
      to a dream that soared and spent itself in skies
       so distant now and hidden far amid the stars
                     remember
         and as the mist of mourning disappears
                    do not fear
         for love repays the tender heart that can
                     remember
