Sara Teasdale - 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 forever 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 fire, as a hushed footfall
In a long-forgotten snow.

Poet: Sara Teasdale Poem: Let It Be Forgotten Poem of the Day: Mar 18 2005 Comment 2 of 2, added on January 26th, 2006 at 4:43 PM. THIS POEM RULES DUDE!!! Commet from United States Comment 1 of 2, added on October 5th, 2005 at 3:29 PM. This poem is incredible in that it talks of time is a gentle, refreshing manner. A snow will come and go, always brought by time. We too, are like the snow. We are brought here as freshly fallen snow, live our life, and die when the snow finally melts. Yet time is gentle, treating us with respect. Our lives will bring new growth in the form of spring flowers and grassy meadows. We are the wellspring for birth and rebirth, and time makes sure that we get our chance to create life or at least give it a good beginning. Let us remember that time is not our enemy, but our friend, and what we give Father Time, he will give back. Thank you Sara.
