Thread Name: Lyr Req: Forget Me Not (autograph-book verses)
Subject: Lyr Req: were did the poem/lyrics,for get me not
My nanna, who just recently passed away at the age of 102, had the words of a poem (lyrics?) called FORGET ME NOT, and I don't know who wrote it, or how old it is. It goes like this:

When the golden sun is setting and your mind from care is free,
When [of] others you are thinking, will you sometimes think of me?
Think of me when you're happy. Leave for me a little spot.
In the garden of your memory, plant a sweet forget-me-not.

When this you see, remember me, and find me not unkind.
Although you I cannot see, you are a constant in my mind.
[Though] Ocean wide between us roll and distance be our lot,
Should you and I never meet again, dear, forget me not.

I have written some music to the words and I don't want to breach copyright.
