Alexander, Eleanor: Now - ZaunköniG - 30.04.2007 Now For me, my friend, no grave-side vigil keep With tears that memory and remorse might fill; Give me your tenderest laughter earth-bound still, And when I die you shall not want to weep. No epitaph for me with virtues deep Punctured in marble pitiless and chill: But when play time is over, if you will, The songs that soothe beloved babes to sleep. No lenten lilies on my breast and brow Be laid when I am silent; roses red, And golden roses bring me here instead, That if you love or bear me I may know; I may not know, nor care, when I am dead: Give me your songs, and flowers, and laughter now. |
