Love Songs
Song
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 any one asks, say it was forgotten
Long and long ago,
As a
flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall
In a long forgotten
snow.
From: Rittenhouse, Jessie B.
The Second Book of Modern Verse (1919).
