When I Die
..
You said you would repay me
with all that remained of your life.
Then I realized I'd never asked you:
"What will you do when I die?"
..
When you die, Master Cain,
I will seek out the murderer
and make sure that he pays.
That is, if you ever be so clumsy
to get yourself killed.
When you die, Master Cain,
I will bury your corpse myself
and thereupon be the caretaker of your grave.
That is, if I'm ever permitted the ground of Hargreaves
when you're no longer the Count.
When you die, Master Cain,
I will take care of Miss Merryweather
in your place.
That is, if she can ever find
comfort in one other than dear brother.
When you die, Master Cain,
I'll be glad that I've been listening
when you ramble about your poisons;
When you die, Master Cain,
there shall go
all that remains of my life.
..
