REMEMBER WELL, REMEMBER NOT - by Edmund Wong, Hong Kong

REMEMBER  WELL,  REMEMBER  NOT by Edmund Wong, Hong Kong When you should see the passing of the train,Remember not the voice that trails behind;When you should hear the falling of the rain,Remember not the day that once was fine. Imagine, instead, the meadow that we’ll sitOn hand in hand beneath the linden tree;If you are weak against the taxing heat, I will then let you hop on me, as freeAs clouds, and wander over the tranquil valeAnd brook, where I pick roses up along,Whose odor I can’t tell, in the mild gale,From my sweet Lily’s native scent, so strongThat it sets off the passion of my sweats.We need not books of tales to pass our time,Nor time will seize the treasure in our chests,For you‘re my fairy queen who lives in mine. When you should see the passing of the hearse,Remember well the reason of this verse,Be not sorry, nor sad, and miss me like a fool,As all of me is nothing else but you.
