Think of me as your friend, I pray, And call me by a loving name; I will not care what others say, If only you remain the same. I will not care how dark the night; I will not care how wild the storm; Your love will fill my heart with light And shield me close and keep me warm. Think of me as your friend, I pray, For else my life is little worth: So shall your memory light my way, Although we meet no more on earth. For while I know your faith secure, I ask no happier fate to see: Thus to be loved by one so pure Is honor rich enough for me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOWN BY THE CARIB SEA: 6.
