When I Am Dead, My Dearest - A poem by Christina Rossetti.
About the poem - Rossetti reflects upon whether she will remember her lover and vice verse, hence giving her lover the choice and permission to do so. Though believes in some sort of immortality of our soul after death she does not want to hope or think about her final resting abode -- heaven or hell. This poem is particularly fascinating because Christina was a devout Anglican who once refused to play chess since, winning gave her too much pleasure.
