A REQUEST
WHEN I am dead and gone,
Let there be no song,
No flowers, pure and white,
Or Vigils kept at night,
When I am dead and gone.
Let there be no song,
No flowers, pure and white,
Or Vigils kept at night,
When I am dead and gone.
Weep not, at my lone bier,
E'en you, who hold me dear,
Deem me at last blest
To find the sleep of rest,
When I am dead and gone.
E'en you, who hold me dear,
Deem me at last blest
To find the sleep of rest,
When I am dead and gone.
