When all your bitter grief is gone, With anger and rebellion done, Think then, with your more even breath How lovely was the face of Death! Say you remember her sweet face, The light, the loveliness; The smile that passed beyond this world, To rest no more on us: That, knowing now how Death is loved You follow her, and stand reproved. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HUNGERFIELD by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE MOURNER by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN HECUBA MOURNS by MARILYN NELSON THERE IS NO GOD BUT by AGHA SHAHID ALI IF I COULD MOURN LIKE A MOURNING DOVE by FRANK BIDART A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
