When I am gone I pray you shed	A
No tears upon the grassy bed	A
Where that which you have loved is laid	B
Under the wind warped yew tree's shade	B
And let no sombre pomp prepare	C
My unreturning journey there	C
Nor wailing words nor dirges deep	D
Disturb the quiet of my sleep	D
But tender maidens robed in white	E
Who have not yet forgotten quite	E
The love I sought the love I gave	F
Be the sole mourners round my grave	F
And neither then nor after raise	G
The bust of pride the slab of praise	G
To him who having sinned and striven	H
Now only asks to be forgiven	H
That he is gone	I
	-
When I am gone you must not deem	J
That I am severed as I seem	J
From all that still enchains you here	K
Throughout the long revolving year	L
When as to Winter's barren shore	M
The tides of Spring return once more	M
And wakened by their flashing showers	N
The woodland foams afresh with flowers	N
You sally forth and ramble wide	O
I shall walk silent at your side	O
Shall watch your mirth shall catch your smile	P
Shall wander with you all the while	P
And as in many a bygone Spring	Q
Hear cuckoo call and ousel sing	Q
And when you homeward wend along	R
A land all blithe with bleat and song	R
Where lambs that skip and larks that soar	M
Make this old world seem young once more	M
And with the wildwood flowers that fill	S
Your April laps deck shelf and sill	S
I shall be there to guide your hand	T
And you will surely understand	T
I am not gone	I
	-
When Summer leans on Autumn's arm	U
And warm round grange and red roofed farm	U
Is piled the wain and thatched the stack	V
And swallows troop and fieldfares pack	V
When round rough trunk and knotted root	W
Lies thick the freshly fallen fruit	W
And 'mong the orchard aisles you muse	X
On what we gain on what we lose	X
Now vernal cares no more annoy	Y
And wisdom takes the place of joy	Y
I shall be there as in past years	Z
To share your steps to dry your tears	A2
To note how Autumn days have brought	B2
Feelings mature and mellow thought	B2
The fruitful grief for others' smart	C2
The ripeness of a human heart	C2
And when the winds wax rude and loud	D2
And Winter weaves the stark year's shroud	D2
As round the flickering household blaze	G
You sit and talk of vanished days	G
Of parent friend no longer nigh	E2
And loves that in the churchyard lie	E2
And lips grow weak and lids grow wet	F2
Then then I shall be with you yet	F2
Though I seem gone	I
