When I Am Dead, My Dearest
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, forget.

That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget. — Christina Rossetti

King Henry, scene ii — William Shakespeare
