Nice picture

REMEMBER me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann’d:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Christina Georgina Rossetti. 1830–1894

———————————————

Recorda’m quan ja no hi sigui,
Quan hagi anat cap al silenci llunyà;
I ja no puguis agafar-me de la mà,
Ni jo em giri per marxar i, tot girant, no marxi.

Recorda’m quan cada dia i nit
El nostre futur ja no em puguis explicar:
Tan sols recorda’m; és clar
Serà massa tard per compartir.

Però si m’oblidessis un instant
I després em recordessis, no pateixis:
Tot i el temps i la foscor, amb què guardis

Algun dels pensaments que en altre temps tenia,
Millor que m’oblidis somrient
Que no pas em recordis amb malenconia.
