Or praise me with low voices at my tomb;

I would not even a recording stone

Should tell them what I was—when I am gone.

There are a few who love me—whom I love—

Gentle and gifted spirits, who would weep,

But not that I had found a rest above,

And in their hearts my trifling virtues keep;

And one, whom I have folded like a dove

In my affections, would lie down and sleep

Softly beside me—and I should not care,
