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 Bridges<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-death-to-either-shall-come-2/
