A Wish (I)

Let me not die for ever! when I'm gone
  To the cold earth; but let my memory
  Live like the gorgeous western light that shone
  Over the clouds where sank day's majesty.
  Let me not be forgotten! though the grave
  Has clasped its hideous arms around my brow
  Let me not be forgotten! though the wave
  Of time's dark current rolls above me now.
  Yet not in tears remembered be my name;
  Weep over those ye loved; for me, for me,
  Give me the wreath of glory, and let fame
  Over my tomb spread immortality!
