Question:

Read the poem and answer the following question
Remember me when I am gone away,

Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day

You tell me of our future that you plann'd:

Only remember me; you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while

And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave

A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,

Better by far you should forget and smile

Than that you should remember and be sad.

When does the speaker want to be remembered?

Options:

When she goes to Italy on vacation

After she wins the Nobel prize

After she dies

When she goes sailing

Correct Answer:

After she dies

Explanation:

The poet wants to be remembered when she is 'gone away'.
