Go where glory waits thee
But while fame elate thee
Oh! still remember me.
When the praise thou meetest
To thine ear is sweetest
Oh! then remember me.
Other arms my press press thee
Dearest friends caress thee
All the joy that bless thee
Sweeter far may be
But when friends are nearest
And when joy are dearest
Oh! then remember me!
When, at eve, thou rovest
By the start thou lovest
Oh! then remember me.
Think, when home returning
Bright we've seen it burning
Oh! this remember me.
Oft as summer closes
When thine eye reposes
On its lingering roses
Once so loved by thee
Think of her who wove them
Her who made thee love them
Oh! then remember me.
When, around thee dying
Autumn leaves are lying
Oh! then remember me.
And, at night, when gazing
On the gay health blazing
Oh! still remember me.
Then should music, stealing
All the soul of feeling
To thy heart appealing
Draw one tear from thee
Then let memory bring thee
Strains I used to sing thee, --
Oh! then remember me.
