Let me not die for ever! when I'm gone <br />To the cold earth; but let my memory <br />Live like the gorgeous western light that shone <br />Over the clouds where sank day's majesty. <br />Let me not be forgotten! though the grave <br />Has clasped its hideous arms around my brow <br />Let me not be forgotten! though the wave <br />Of time's dark current rolls above me now. <br />Yet not in tears remembered be my name; <br />Weep over those ye loved; for me, for me, <br />Give me the wreath of glory, and let fame <br />Over my tomb spread immortality!<br /><br />Frances Anne Kemble<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wish-i/
