1. Notes: 178 / 3 years ago  from liquidnight
   

   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
