SHALL I FORGET? by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: SHALL I FORGET ON THIS SIDE OF THE GRAVE?
Last Line: (O MY SOUL, LEAD THE WAY HE WALKS WITH ME.)
SHALL I forget on this side of the grave?
I promise nothing: you must wait and see,
Patient and brave.
(O my soul, watch with him, and he with me.)

Shall I forget in peace of Paradise?
I promise nothing: follow, friend, and see,
Faithful and wise.
(O my soul, lead the way he walks with me.)
