COME NOT IN BLACK by NAOMI REYNOLDS

First Line: COME NOT IN BLACK WHEN YOU SAY, 'FAREWELL
Last Line: I SHALL CHOOSE TO REMEMBER YOU.
Subject(s): FAREWELL; PARTING;
Come not in black when you say, "Farewell,"
Come in a nebulous blue.
That is the way in the coming years
I shall choose to remember you.

Bring me no flowers warped into wreaths.
Bring me a rose or two.
By such a gift in the coming years
I shall choose to remember you.
