If I forget (Edmund Gosse)

IF I FORGET (Edmund Gosse) . If I forget, The salt creek may forget the ocean; If I forget The heart whence flowed my heart’s bright notion, May I sink meanlier than the worst, Abandoned, outcast, crushed, accurst - If I forget. . Though you forget, No word of mine shall mar your pleasure; Though you forget - You filled my barren life with treasure; You may withdraw the gift you gave, You still are queen, I still am slave, Though you forget.
