I need help analyzing *"Sing No Sad Songs" by Christina Rossetti. Please help!
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree;
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on as if in pain;
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise or set,
Haply I may remember
And haply may forget.
*Also known by the titles: “Song” and “When I Am Dead, My Dearest”.
