Meaning of “Remember me when I am gone away, Gone…”
The opening request names anticipated separation directly, making remembrance part of how love is imagined continuing after the speaker is gone.
Where does it come from?
“Remember,” first published in Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862); Project Gutenberg #16950. The sonnet later softens this request by allowing compassionate forgetting rather than demanding perpetual grief.
