 But when friends are nearest,

And when joys are dearest,

Oh! then remember me.

When at eve thou rovest,

By the star thou lovest,

Oh! then remember me.

Think when home returning

Bright we’ve seen it burning,

Oh! then remember me.

Oft as summer closes,

When thine eyes reposes

On its lingering roses,

Once so lov’d by thee;

Think on her who wove them,

Her who made thee love them,

Oh! then remember me.

When around thee, dying,

Autumn leaves are lying,

Oh! then remember me.

And at night, when gazing

On the gay hearth blazing.

Oh! then remember me.

Then should music stealing

All the soul of feeling,

To thy heart appealing,

Draw one tear from thee;

Then let mem’ry bring thee

Strains I us’d to sing thee.

Oh! then remember me.
