Song

Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)


LET it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold.
Let it be forgotten forever and ever—
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.

If anyone asks, say it was forgotten	5
Long and long ago—
As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall
In a long forgotten snow. Poetry, A Magazine of Verse
