lyrics
When I die,
Christina Georgina Rossetti
When I die, my dearest when I die, my dearest
Don't sing sad songs for me, don't be sad for me.
Don't plant roses on my head. Don't plant roses at my grave.
There are no shady cypresses, and there are no dense cypresses.
May green cover my body.
Showers and dewdrops wet the rain wet with dew.
Remember me if you like.
Please forget me if you like.
I won't see the shadow. I'll never see that shadow again.
I can't feel the rain, I can't feel the rain coming.
I won't hear the nightingale.
Sing on, as if in pain, as if in mourning.
Dream in the twilight and spend the long dawn in your dreams.
The sun that never rises or sets will never rise or set.
Maybe I will remember. Maybe I will remember you.
Maybe I will forget you.
