Robert Bridges. b. 1844840. When Death to Either shall come
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; | 5 |
And sing to the child on thy knee, | |
Or read to thyself alone | |
The songs that I made for thee. |
