Song~

When I am dead, my dearest

Sing no sad songs for me

Plant no roses at my head

Nor shady cypress tree

Be the green grass above me

with showers and dew drops wet

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 nightengale

sing on, as if in pain

and dreaming through the twilite

that doth not rise or set

Happily, I may remember

and happily, I may forget

~Christina Rossetti
