Then You'll Remember Me

DESCRIPTION: "When other lips and other hearts Their tales of love shall tell, In language whose excess imparts The power they love so well," perhaps there will come a reminder: "And you'll remember me." In hard times too, then "You'll remember me."

NOTES [47 words]: The Solomon-ZickaryZan text is from an autograph album from the family of Kate, Ella, Lucy, Maggie, and Bessie Burton, compiled 1895-1905. Most autograph album verses were composed for the (small) format; this is an interesting example, because it looks as if it's from tradition. - RBW
