I Shall not Care by Sara Teasdale

When I am dead and over me bright April 
Shakes out her rain-drenched hair, 
Though you shall 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.

No tears don't you come out
If you blind me now
I am defeated

No lips don't make a sound
Don't let him hear
The break in your voice

Hand let go of his
With ease n' grace
Don't let him bleed
Under your nails

Oh lord take of thy crown
You're my king no more
With that merciless heart
