    Christina Rossetti
    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, 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, The Complete Poems

  • #25
    Christina Rossetti
    “Where are the songs I used to know,
    Where are the notes I used to sing?
    I have forgotten everything
    I used to know so long ago.

    Christina Rossetti

  • #26
    Christina Rossetti
    “Promise me no promises,
    So will I not promise you:
    Keep we both our liberties,
    Never false and never true:
    Let us hold the die uncast,
    Free to come as free to go:
    For I cannot know your past,
    And of mine what can you know?”
    Christina Rossetti
