“Let it be forgotten”
Let
it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten
Forgotten
as a fire that once was singing gold
Let
it be forgotten for ever and ever
Time
is a kind friend, he will make us old
If
anyone asks, say it was forgotten
Long
and long ago
As
a flower, as a firfe, as a hushed football
In
a long forgotten snow
By.
