Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEAFGHEIAI JKLMNOPQLRSTLU

Try to remember some details Remember the clothingA
of the one you loveB
so that on the day of loss you'll be able to say last seenC
wearing such and such brown jacket white hatD
Try to remember some details For they have no faceE
and their soul is hidden and their cryingA
is the same as their laughterF
and their silence and their shouting rise to one heightG
and their body temperature is between and degreesH
and they have no life outside this narrow spaceE
and they have no graven image no likeness no memoryI
and they have paper cups on the day of their rejoicingA
and paper cups that are used once onlyI
-
Try to remember some details For the worldJ
is filled with people who were torn from their sleepK
with no one to mend the tearL
and unlike wild beasts they liveM
each in his lonely hiding place and they dieN
together on battlefieldsO
and in hospitalsP
And the earth will swallow all of themQ
good and evil together like the followers of KorahL
all of them in thir rebellion against deathR
their mouths open till the last momentS
praising and cursing in a singleT
howl Try tryL
to remember some detailsU
