When I Pass Away Poem by Amar Agarwala

When I pass away, my sweetheart
Do sing no dirges for me,
I seek of you no eulogy
Nor shade of a leafy tree.

Bury me in some wilderness
And bid me a quick adieu,
Where grass and blooms would add comfort
Under an echoing blue.

For I'd be beyond worldliness
Untouched by the sun or rain,
Wandering in eternity
Beyond the measures of pain.

The love we shared is sacrament
It will walk along with you,
I pray abandon loneliness
And search for an ominous clue.

That someday we shall re-unite
At the yard of heaven's gate,
Till then let our memories add
Consolation to your wait.
