Because I Could Not Stop for Death
Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;…Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!…Go Down Death (A Funeral Sermon)
Weep not, weep not,
She is not dead;…If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;…Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;…Rest
O Earth, lie heavily upon her eyes;
Seal her sweet eyes weary of watching, Earth;…Rock Me to Sleep
Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight,
Make me a child again just for to-night!…Up-Hill

Yes, to the very end.…When I Am Dead, My Dearest
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;…
