I shall not care

By Sara Teasdale

1884-1933

When I am dead and over me bright April
         Shakes out her rain-drenched hair,
Though you should lean above me broken-hearted,
         I shall not care.

I shall have peace as leafy trees are peaceful,
         When rain bends down the bough,
And I shall be more silent and cold-hearted
         Than you are now.
