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.

Remember me when no more day by day

You tell me of our future that you planned:

Only remember me; you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray.

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

想念

请想念我吧，当我已经不在－－

不在这里，在远方，寂静的田园；

当你已不能握住了我的手腕，

握住了我的手，我欲去又徘徊。
请想念我吧，当你已不能天天

为我描述我俩的未来的圆梦，

光是想念我吧；再相随相从，

在一起祷告，谈心，已经太晚。　
但要是你把我忘怀了片刻，

又重新想起；请也不必叹息，

如果原先属于我的思忆，

被黑暗和腐蚀留下一丝痕迹－－
那么，宁愿你忘怀了而欢笑，

不要，不要你记住了而哀悼。
