Christina Georgina Rossetti - When I Am Dead, My Dearest Christina Georgina Rossetti - When I Am Dead, My Dearest
Work rating: Medium


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.
