    Forgotten? No, we never do forget:
    We let the years go; wash them clean with tears,
    Leave them to bleach out in the open day,
    Or lock them careful by, like dead friends' clothes,
    Till we shall dare unfold them without pain,--
    But we forget not, never can forget.

Agayne I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tyde and made my paynes his prey.

The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
A humble and a contrite heart.

Lest we forget,--lest we forget.

But only when in danger, not before;
The danger o'er, both are alike requited,
God is forgotten, and the Doctor slighted.
