Go Where Glory Waits Thee (1807)

Go where glory waits thee
But while fame elates thee
Oh, still remember me
When the praise thou meetest
To thine ear is sweetest
Oh, then remember me

Other arms may press thee
Dearer friends caress thee
All the joys that bless thee
Sweeter far may be
But when friends are nearest
And when joys are dearest
Oh, then remember me

When, at eve, thou rovest
By the star thou lovest
Oh, then remember me
Think when home returning
Bright, we have seen it burning
Oh, then remember me

Oft as summer closes
When thine eye reposes
On its lingering roses
Once so loved by thee
Think of her, who wove them
Her, who made thee love them
Oh, then remember me

When around thee dying
Autumn leaves are lying
Oh, then remember me
And, at night, when gazing
On the gay hearth blazing
Oh, still remember me

Then should music, stealing
All the soul of feeling
To thy heart appealing
Draw one tear from thee
Then let memory bring thee
Strains I used to sing thee
Oh, then remember me
