A requiem - When I am dead my dearest
Song "When I am dead, my dearest", published before 1940, for voice and piano.
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. Christina Rossetti (from Goblin Market and other Poems, published 1862)
