When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs fo r me; 
Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress-tree; 
Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet; 
And i f thou w ilt, remember, and i f thou w ilt, forget. 
I shall not see the shadows, I shall not feel the rain; 
I shall not hear the nightingale Sing on, as i f in pain; 
And dreaming through the tw ilig h t That doth not rise nor set, 
Haply I may remember, And haply may forget.
