When I am gone do not, my love, lament
For I shall find a gentler resting place
Beneath the stars where I shall lie content
Sweet solitude forever to embrace
Then silent be the murmurs of my soul
No more to rant and rave at life’s unease
Nor hear the sombre chime of bells that toll
As I am laid to rest ‘neath ancient trees
Yet I shall not in mildness so depart
Nor on the wings of peace address the close
A tempest thus shall seize this beating heart
Before the sun sets long on my repose
….. With life’s completed scroll forever furled
….. I’ll wave contempt and scorn upon the world
