IF I should die,
………….think only this of me:

That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England.

Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,

Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;

And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness

In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
