" when i am dead and over me bright april shakes out her rain-drenched hair, though you should lean above me broken-hearted, i shall not care. i shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful when rain bends down the bough, and i shall be more silent and cold-hearted than you are now. "

C. She is dealing with anger at a lover who has rejected her.

Explanation:

In these lines, the author imagines what it would be like for her to be dead. She imagines a bright April day, and someone crying for her. However, she tells us that she will not care that this person is dying, because this person did not care for her in life. She promises that at that moment she "shall be more silent and cold-hearted/Than you are now." The fact that she is accusing this person of being cold-hearted towards her suggests the theme of unrequited love.
