Forget Thee?

Taken from "Forget Thee?"
Written by John Moultrie

"Forget thee?"-if to dream by night and muse on thee by day,

If all the worship, deep and wild, a poets heart can pay,

If prayers in absence breathed for thee to Heavens' protecting power,

If winged thoughts that flit to thee--a thousand in an hour,

If busy Fancy, blending thee with all my future lot--

If this thou call'st "forgetting," thou, indeed, shalt be forgot!
