When I Die

When I Die

No one shall grieve

On my death,

For its imminent,

When it happens

Don’t shed a tear

‘Twill tears me apart

Don’t sprinkle water

I hated a bath

Don’t inform anyone

I have neither kith nor kin

Worthy of such

Happy information

They will shed tears,

Just to show and know

What they shared in my Will,

So let me be consumed

By the natural fires

Take me not home

Just let me smoulder away.

As my ashes become cold

Let them be stowed

Under the freshly falling snow

Let no one come and say

I have  gone away

For I shall henceforth

In all your loving hearts

For ever and ever shall stay.
