[No funeral gloom, my dears, when I am gone]

No funeral gloom, my dears, when I am gone,
Corpse-gazings, tears, black raiment, gravey ard grimness;
Think of me as withdrawn into the dimness,
Yours still, you mine; remember all the best
Of our past moments, and forget the rest;
And so, to where I wait, come gently on.
