There is a modest little flower, To friendship ever dear, Oh! Plant it on my humble bed And strew it O'er my bier. Let not the dark sepulchral yew Its sombre branches wave, But let that little fragile flower Alone grow on my grave.

Then shall my grace by this be known, A little smiling spot, A mound thick covered with the flower, That says FORGET ME NOT."
