I SHALL NOT CARE
When I am dead and over me bright April
Shakes out her rain-drenched
hair,
Though you should lean above me broken-hearted,
I shall not
care.
I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful
When rain bends down the
bough,
And I shall be more silent and cold-hearted
Than you are now.
Sara Teasdale [1884-1933]
From: Stevenson, Burton Egbert.
