Thread Name: Lyr Req: Forget Me Not (autograph-book verses)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: were did the poem/lyrics, forget me not
The next couplet was also used as an autograph-book rhyme:
Think of me when you are happy. Keep for me one little spot. In the depth of thine affection, Plant a sweet forget-me-not.
Also quoted in the book "Hill's Manual of Social and Business Forms: A Guide to Correct Writing," by Thomas E. Hill, 1884, which you can see at Google Book Search.
