Plant 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 me, 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 nor set Haply I may remember And haply may forget.

Music Comments: marked "Quick and lightly" quarter = c. 120. frequent meter changes. song hangs on lower half of staff for first two thirds of song, but then hangs above the staff for the most of the last page. Active, possibly as one who is trying to be in good spirits. Text Comments: La, la, la, [etc.] Spring of the world again, Oh, is there such a time: Eternity of April, Past hills, past green? La, la, la, [etc.] There will be grass again, There will be buds, be lambs; Here. But what of the outer spaces fate lives in? La, la, la, [etc.] Good of the heart again: Can there be such a spring? You ever-lasting, lasting, lasting winter, Does it come on? This entry contributed by G&K around 9/15/99. The contributor(s) looked over the song.

Music Comments: to be annotated by composer Text Comments: Warning--I don't have permission to completely reproduce this text and I may be misrepresenting its message in the following summary. Beginning of text: "Is it dirty/ does it look dirty/ that's what you think of in the city/ does it just seem dirty/ that's what you think of in the city/ you don't refuse to breathe do you" [more--someone is attractive, as "attractive as his character is bad," but "you don't refuse to breathe do you"] Recordings: Sperry and Vallecillo This entry contributed by G&K around 11/29/98.
