If I forget thee! How shall I forget thee? <br />Sword of the mighty! Prince and Lord of War! <br />Captive I bind me <br />To the spears that blind me, <br />Rage in my heart and love for evermore. <br /> <br />If I forget thee! How shall I forget thee? <br />Man the destroyer! Life that made mine move! <br />They that come after <br />Let them earn my laughter, <br />Ay, but my anger, never, nor my love. <br /> <br />If I forget thee! How should I forget thee? <br />One man there is no woman dares despise. <br />Hate him it may be, <br />Wound him if the way be, <br />Nay, but forget him? Not before she dies!<br /><br />Wilfrid Scawen Blunt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-forget-thee/
