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'
