I shall not hear the nightingale
With showers and dewdrops wet;
That doth not rise nor set,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Haply I may remember,
Sing on, as if in pain:
And if thou wilt, forget.
Plant thou no roses at my head,
And haply may forget.
I shall not feel the rain;
Sing no sad songs for me;
And dreaming through the twilight
Be the green grass above me
I shall not see the shadows,
And if thou wilt, remember,
When I am dead, my dearest,
