Request

Hi.

We've just had a loss in my extended family. Can anyone post any beautiful poems about death? Not any too religious or too sappy?

**EDIT: This had turned out to be a beautiful thread. Thank you for all of your kind words.

When my mother's sister Dinnie died, I read Keats' "To Autumn" to my family.
