Death and mortality

Quote

Poem

“It makes us think of all the dead”

‘The saddest noise, the sweetest noise’

“Remark that Birds have fled!”

‘There’s something quieter than sleep’

“There’ll be that Dark Parade –”

‘There’s been a Death, in the Opposite House’

“I could not see to see”

‘I heard a Fly buzz – when I died’

“The Cornice – in the Ground”

‘Because I could not stop for Death’

“Was it a pleasant Day to die –”

‘To know just how He suffered – would be dear’

“And the Juggler of Day is gone”

‘Blazing in Gold and quenching in Purple’
