‘When Death to either shall come’

Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

WHEN Death to either shall come,—

I pray it be first to me,—

Be happy as ever at home,

If so, as I wish, it be.

Possess thy heart, my own;

And sing to the child on thy knee,

Or read to thyself alone

The songs that I made for thee.
