Part 2 — AFTER CHRISTINA ROSSETTI

REMEMBER it, although you're far away— Too far away more fivers yet to land, When you no more can proffer notes of hand, Nor I half yearn to change my yea to nay. Remember, when no more in airy way, You tell me of repayment sagely planned: Only remember it, you understand! It's rather late to counsel you to pay; Yet if you should remember for awhile, And then forget it wholly, I should grieve; For, though your light procrastinations leave Small remnants of the hope that once I had, Than that you should forget your debt and smile, I'd rather you'd remember and be sad. Judy.
