Time
by Henry Van Dyke
[read by Lady Jane, Diana's sister]
Time is too slow for those who wait
Too swift for those who fear
Too long for those who grieve
Too short for those who rejoice
But for those who love
Time is eternity
Poem read by Lady Sarah,
Diana's sister
If I should die and leave you here awhile,
Be not like others, sore undone, who keep
Long virgils by the silent dust, and weep.
For my sake--turn again to life and smile,
Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do
Something to comfort other hearts than thine.
Complete those dear unfinished tasks of mine
And I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

Mankind
Written by Ted Hughes
for Princess Diana's Funeral
Mankind is many rivers
That only want to run
Holy tragedy and loss
Makes the many one
Mankind is a Holy
Crowned mother and her son
For worship
For mourning
God is here is gone
Love is broken on the cross
The flower--on the gun
