¶Lyrics / Text

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 or set, haply I may remember, and haply may forget.
