When Death to either shall come,— <br />I pray it be first to me,— <br />Be happy as ever at home, <br />If so, as I wish, it be. <br /> <br />Possess thy heart, my own; <br />And sing to the child on thy knee, <br />Or read to thyself alone <br />The songs that I made for thee.<br /><br />Robert Seymour Bridges<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-death-to-either-shall-come/
