Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Forget Me Not (autograph-book verses)
How lovely reading all these poems, my mother is 86 years old and always talks of a poetry book she had a small child called ''treasure Trove' one of her friends borrowed it and it was never returned i would love to get a copy of this poetry book for her, she still remembers a poem in this book called 'forget me not' hence why I was searching for this poem this page came up and brought a tear to my eye. My Mum said the book was very old when she was given it by her grandmother can anyone advise where I could get this book? the poem my Mother remembers is:
When to the flowers so beautiful the father gave a name. that came a little blued eyed one all timidly it came, and standing at his fathers feet and gazing in his face. it said in low and trembling voice, dear lord the name thou gavest me alas I have forgot. then kindly looked the father down and said forget me not.
