Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold.
Let it be forgotten forever and ever—-
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.

If anyone asks, say it was forgotten
Long and long ago—-
As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall
In a long forgotten snow.

--Sara Teasdale
