Heart, we will forget him

Heart, we will forget him
You and I, tonight.
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me,
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! Lest while you're lagging,
I may remember him!

Words by Emily Dickinson
Music by Aaron Copland (1949-50)
dedicated to Marcelle de Manziarly
