I would remember the flower,
I would remember the leaf;
But Christ, Lord Christ, let me forget
The severing thorn beneath.
Frost comes but timely in Autumn --
When days are completed and grown --
But Christ, Lord Christ, bid me forget
The opening buds all brown.
She that was flower in springtime,
My treasure and life for a space,
Oh Christ, Lord Christ, let me forget
The frost on a flower's face.
