Rossetti Quotes

When I am dead my dearest

Sing no sad songs for me (song)

And if thou wilt, remember

And if thou wilt, forget (song)

Remember me when I am gone away

Gone far away into the silent land (remember)

When you can no more

hold me by the hand (remember)

None would miss me

in the world (from the antique)

Were nothing at all

in all the world (from the antique)

Oh dream how sweet

too sweet, too bitter sweet (echo)

Come back in tears

O memory, hope, love of finished years (echo)

And bid my home remember me

Until I come to it again (shut out)

For nought is worth

looking at (shut out)

My heart is gladder than all these

Because my love is come to me (A birthday)

My heart is like a rainbow shell

That paddles in a halcyon sea (A birthday)

The day we waddled ankle deep

for Lillies in the beck (Maude Clare)

I’ll love him till he loves me best

Me best of all, Maude Clare
