Remember by Christina Rossetti (read by Rosamund Pike)

Remember by Christina Rossetti
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 plann'd:
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.

Read this at my mother's funeral at the end of my spoken tribute to her, 2018. Very poignant. Beautifully recited here.

Have to say that a written copy of this most beautiful verse was found amongst my late wife Maureen's belongings. It must have meant a lot to her. Having read it I can see why. So beautifully portrayed by Rosamund Pike. Best I can say right now. RIP Maureen.

Did you succeed in memorizing the poem? Or you just cut the onions by heart!! 😂 Anyway, I loved what you wrote 😁✌️

I would have much preferred a photo of Rossetti than the meaningless...and even vain, one posted. And why the hushed girly voice? Speak strong and Amazonian for heavens sake. A strong woman wrote this poem..

[@davereckoning5910]

Beauty is not meaningless. Femininity is not weak. (And of course Rosamund, the reader of the poem, has a right to look as she does.) Peace to all; have a nice day.

[@BruceJackson-lx2dw]

I have no problem with the gentle way this was read: all a matter of preference. As for Ms Pike's photograph, it neither annoys nor distresses me...I think it goes well with her pleasing rendition. Chill out & relax.
