Richard
Mark Wheatley
(1980
- 1993)
Son of Robert
and Adele;
Brother of David;
Grandson of Stan
and Hilda, Louis and Mavis;
Nephew of Nick
and Hazel;
Friend to many;
Loved by all.
When I
am dead, my dearest,
Sing no
sad songs for me;
Plant thou
no roses at my head,
Nor shady
cypress tree:
Be green
the grass above me
With showers
and dewdrops wet;
And if
thou wilt, remember
And if
thou wilt, forget.
I shall
not see the shadows,
I shall
not feel the rain;
I shall
not hear the nightingale
Sing on,
as if in pain:
And dreaming
through the twilight
That doth
not rise nor set,
Haply I
may remember,
And haply
may forget.
CHRISTINA
ROSSETTI, 'SONG'
