When I Go

When I go, my dear
Sing no sad songs for me
Plant no roses at my head
No shady cypress tree
Be the green grass above me
Showers and dew-drops wet
And if you will, remember
And if you will, forget
I won’t see the shadows
I won’t feel the rain
I won’t hear the nightingale
Singing out like he’s in pain
I’ll be dreaming through the twilight
That knows no rise nor set
And maybe I’ll remember
And maybe I’ll forget
