FORGIVE ME NOW

When I am dead forget me dear,
for I shall never know,
though o'er my cold and lifeless hands
your burning tears should flow.

I'll cancel with my living voice
the debt you'll owe the dead
- Give me the love you'd show me then,
but give it now instead.

And faults that now are hard to bear,
oblivion then shall win.
Our sins are soon forgiven us
when we no more can sin.

But any bitter thought of me-
keep it for when I'm dead;
I shall not know, I shall not care,
Forgive me now instead.

FORGIVE ME NOW
