  Down the rushy glen,
  We daren't go a-hunting,
  For fear of little men.

• No funeral gloom, my dears, when I am gone,
  corpse-gazing, tears, black raiment, graveyard grimness.
  Think of me as withdrawn into the dimness,
  yours still, you mine.
  Remember all the best of our past moments,
  and forget the rest;
  and so to where I wait, come gently on.
  • Poem: No funeral gloom - part of funeral of actress Ellen Terry 1928
