think on me.

I found the lyrics to a poem that Mary, Queen of Scots wrote called "Think On Me", which was set to music by James Mulholland. I sang this song with the Biola University Chorale. One of the most moving pieces we've ever sung. The lyrics are so heart-wrenching, and if you get a chance to hear it sung, it's one of the most beautiful melodies you'll ever hear. I stumbled upon it while browsing for British history stuff online.

"When I no more behold thee, think on me.
By all thine eyes have told me, think on me.
When hearts are lightest, when eyes are brightest, when griefs are slightest,
Think on me.
Think, oh, think on me.
Think, think on me.

In all thine hours of gladness, think on me.
If e’er I soothed thy sadness, think on me.
When foes are by thee, when woes are nigh thee, when friends all fly thee,
Think on me.
Think, oh think on me.
Think, think on me.

When thou hast none to cheer thee, think on me.
When no fond heart is near thee, think on me.
When lonely sighing o’er pleasure flying,
When hope is dying, think on me.
Think, oh think on me.
Think, think on me"
