Henry Van Dyke - Rappelle-ToiHenry Van Dyke - Rappelle-Toi
Work rating: Low


Remember, when the timid light   Through the enchanted hall of dawn is gleaming; Remember, when the pensive night   Beneath her silver-sprinkled veil walks dreaming;     When pleasure calls thee and thy heart beats high,     When tender joys through evening shades draw nigh,             Hark, from the woodland deeps             A gentle whisper creeps,                 Remember! Remember, when the hand of fate   My life from thine forevermore has parted; When sorrow, exile, and the weight   Of lonely years have made me heavy-hearted;     Think of my loyal love, my last adieu;     Absence and time are naught, if we are true;         Long as my heart shall beat,         To thine it will repeat,                 Remember! Remember, when the cool, dark tomb   Receives my heart into its quiet keeping, And some sweet flower begins to bloom   Above the grassy mound where I am sleeping;     Ah then, my face thou nevermore shalt see,     But still my soul will linger close to thee,         And in the holy place of night,         The litany of love recite,—                 Remember! Freely rendered from the French of Alfred de Musset.
