Below is a small collection of some interesting poems. Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunglight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. --Anonymous
Enwrought with gold and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths, Of night and light and half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet : But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you thread on my dreams. --W.B.Yeats 1865-1939
That there's some corner of a foriegn field That is forever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust which England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blessed by the suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds, dreams as happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts a peace, under an English heaven. -- Rupert Brooke 1887 - 1915
