Could I forget thee, I should forget
(Love being all one) to stand at gaze
Sometimes descending by winding ways
And say of the earth, How very fair!
I should forget to forget dull care.

Could I forget thee, I should forget
(Love being all one) the pride of youth
That would not abate one tittle of truth --
Such things as are reckoned or rendered vain.
I should forget to forget my gain.

Could I forget thee, I should forget
(Love being all one) the thing afar
We may face like a faintly illuming star
But were never destined to run to, sweet.
I should forget to forget defeat.
