56 <br /> <br />If I should cease to bring a Rose <br />Upon a festal day, <br />'Twill be because beyond the Rose <br />I have been called away— <br /> <br />If I should cease to take the names <br />My buds commemorate— <br />'Twill be because Death's finger <br />Claps my murmuring lip!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-should-cease-to-bring-a-rose/
