Remember me while far away,
I wander thro' the world's wide waste.
Remember me at early day,
And when the ev'ning shadows haste
When high the silver Moon appears
And night with all her sable train
Gives rest to human hopes and fears
Remember I alone complain
Remember me.

Remember me whene'er you sigh
Be it at midnight's silent hour
Remember me and think that I
Return your sigh and feel its pow'r
Whene'er you think on those away,
And when you bend your pious knee,
And when your thoughts to pleasure stray,
Ah! then dear maid, remember me,
Remember me.
