Note 33 — Early Poems

In 1833 the following song took the place of the song in the text:— All yesternight you met me not, My ladylove, forget me not. When I am gone, regret me not. But, here or there, forget me not. With your arched eyebrow threat me not, And tremulous eyes, like April skies, That seem to say, “forget me not,” I pray you, love, forget me not. In idle sorrow set me not; Regret me not; forget me not; Oh! leave me not: oh, let me not Wear quite away;—forget me not. With roguish laughter fret me not. From dewy eyes, like April skies, That ever look, “forget me not”. Blue as the blue forget-me-not.
