Song Analysis
Author: Poetry of Christina Georgina Rossetti Type: Poetry Views: 1049
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.

Song is a contradiction in itself, as the songs are not normally associated with death, its hymns. Here christina is trying to break out of the stereotypical tradtion, she doesnt want people to waste memories on the bad, just like she doesnt want them to waste time placing flowers on her grave. she wants them to appreciate her life not her death. i think she is very optimistic.

This poem was written by christina rossetti to contradict the traditional view of women, through poetry, in the Victrorian era. The speaker is telling her lover that she does not wont to be remembered or reunited with him when he joins her in heaven. She is questioning him on weather she has ever loved him in return at all. This is shown through the last two lines. She is practically saying that she doesn't love him and she will happily forget him.

Contrasts what is generally seen as pleasant symbols, such as roses to symbolize life and remembrance with less pleasant aspects of life.
Means to represent the bitter/sweetness in life that demands bitter/sweetness in death.
Puts an optimistic view on death which the author herself was known to share

This poem is about the writer's death in the future. She feels that memory of her shall live within the hearts of all those she has touched, and don't remember her death, just the memories they had. Singing for her and planting roses means nothing, they will be with her one day and just wants as little memories of things during her death, just memories of happy times.

The poem is about the death of the writer herself. The writer wants that her loved one will never forget her even though she will be six feet underground. The green grasses with dewdrops symbolizes freshness. She wants that her lover would still remember her and will never forget her after her death. She wants that her memories will still be fresh in her lover's heart. She doest not want her lover to put roses on her grave and sing songs for her for she will never hear or see those things for she will already be dead.
