Poems (Kennedy)/Canst Thou Forget
CANST THOU FORGET!
(SONG)
AMID the crowd we met today, We passed and spake no word,But like a light within my heart A hidden memory stirred— Thoughts of a day Now far away; O Love, hast thou forgot, Forgot? O Love, hast thou forgot?
The primrose path sloped to the rocks, Beyond were beach and sea;Ye drifting tides, ye could not snatch My dream of joy from me. Our words were soft, Our lips met oft; O Love, canst thou forget, Forget— O Love, canst thou forget?
