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.
I am busy working to bring Amelia Alderson Opie's "Remember Me" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the home page for other musical arrangements or learn more about Amelia Alderson Opie's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Remember Me" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
