"Miss Me But Let Me Go"

By Christina Rossetti

When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me

I want no rites in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not for long And not with your head bowed low

Remember the love that once we shared

Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take

And each must go alone.

It's all part of the master plan A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the friends we know.

Laugh at all the things we used to
