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 paing

And dreaming through the twilight

That doth not rise nor set

Happy I may remember

And happily I may forget

I wrote this when I was feeling sad and frustrated with everything... don't judge it too harshly.
