When I am dead, my dearest |
|
When I am dead, my dearest, | |
Sing no sad songs for me; | |
Plant thou no roses at my head, | |
Nor shady cypress tree: | |
Be the green grass above me | |
With showers and dewdrops wet; | |
And if thou wilt, remember, | |
And if thou wilt, forget. | |
I shall not see the shadows, | |
I shall not feel the rain; | |
I shall not hear the nightingale | |
Sing on, as if in pain: | |
And dreaming through the twilight | |
That doth not rise nor set, | |
Haply I may remember, | |
And haply may forget. | |
