"Turn Again To Life" by Mary Lee Hall The dead asks you not to cry and weep at their grave but to look for them in the everyday things like the wind or the glistening sun on snow and the autumn rain. This poem is told as if the dead are talking to you, consoling you, and telling you that it's okay. "Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep" by Mary Elizabeth Frye Rage, rage against the dying of the light." 3. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sightīlind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,Īnd you, my father, there on the sad height,Ĭurse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,Īnd learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Though wise men at their end know dark is right,īecause their words had forked no lightning they Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Old age should burn and rave at close of day It's about consoling your elders about death and seeing that it's not something they should be afraid of.

Moving upstream with sails filled out by the sound of death,įilled by the sound of death which is silence. Growing in the damp air like tears of rain.Įmbarking with the pale dead, with women that have dead hair,Īnd pensive young girls married to notary publics,Ĭaskets sailing up the vertical river of the dead,

Like a shipwreck we die going into ourselves,Īs though we were drowning inside our hearts,Īs though we lived falling out of the skin into the soul.Ĭoming out from bells somewhere, from graves somewhere,
