If You Would Please Me
If you would please me when I've passed away Let not your grief embitter you. Be brave;
Turn with full courage from my mounded grave And smile upon the children at their play; Let them make merry in their usual way;
Do not with sorrow those young lives enslave Or steal from them the fleeting joys they crave;
Let not your grieving spoil their happy day. Live on as you have lived these many years,
Still let your soul be gentle and be kind-- I never liked to see those eyes in tears! Weep not too much that you must stay behind; Share in the lives of others as you'd share, If God had willed it still to leave me there.
