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. |
