[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] 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. [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] If anyone asks, say it was forgotten Long and long ago, As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall In a long forgotten snow. [Instrumental outro] * * * * * * * "Let It Be Forgotten" Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) Poem in the public domain, according to Poets. org
