Lyrics

When I am dead
I would that ye make my bed
On that low-lying, windy, windy waste by the sea
Where the silvery grasses rustle and lisp
There, where the crisp, the crisp
Foam flakes shall fly over me
And murmurs creep
From the ancient heart of the deep
Lulling me ever, lulling me ever
I shall most sweetly sleep
While the eerie sea-folk croon
On the long, long dim shore by the light, the light of a waning, waning moon
I shall not hear
The clamor of young life anear
Voices of gladness to stir an unrest
Only the wandering mists of the sea
Shall companion me, shall companion me
Only the wind in its quest
Shall come where I lie
Or the rain from the brooding sky
With furtive footsteps shall pass, shall pass me by
And never a dream of the earth
Shall break on my slumber with lure of an out-lived mirth.
Written by: Lucy Maud Montgomery, Tim Knight
