The Best 10 Funeral Poems For Boyfriend Or Husband

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead. Put crepe bows round the white necks of public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West. My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good.

At the mid hour of night, when stars are weeping, I fly To the lone vale we loved, when life shone warm in Thine eye; And I think oft, if spirits can steal from the regions Of air To revisit past scenes of delight, thou wilt come to Me there And tell me our love is remember'd even in the sky! Then I sing the wild song it once was rapture to hear When our voices, commingling, breathed like one on The ear; And as Echo far off through the vale my sad orison Rolls, I think, O my love! 'tis thy voice, from the Kingdom Of Souls Faintly answering still the notes that once were so dear.

Fare thee well! and if for ever, Still for ever, fare thee well: Even though unforgiving, never ‘Gainst thee shall my heart rebel. Would that breast were bared before thee Where thy head so oft hath lain. While that placid sleep came o’er thee Which thou ne’er canst know again; Would that breast, by thee glanced over, Every inmost thought could show! Then thou wouldst at last discover ‘Twas not well to spurn it so. Though the world for this commend thee– Though it smile upon the blow, Even its praises must offend thee, Founded on another’s woe: Though my many faults defaced me, Could no other arm be found, Than the one which once embraced me, To inflict a cureless wound? Yet, oh yet, thyself deceive not; Love may sink by slow decay, But by sudden wrench, believe not Hearts can thus be torn away: Still thine own its life retaineth, Still must mine, though bleeding, beat; And the undying thought which paineth Is – that we no more may meet. These are words of deeper sorrow Than the wail above the dead; Both shall live, but every morrow Wake us from a widow’d bed. And when thou wouldst solace gather, When our child’s first accents flow, Wilt thou teach her to say ‘Father!’ Though his care she must forego? When her little hands shall press thee, When her lip to thine is press’d Think of him whose prayer shall bless thee, Think of him thy love had bless’d! Should her lineaments resemble Those thou never more may’st see, Then thy heart will softly tremble With a pulse yet true to me. All my faults perchance thou knowest, All my madness none can know; All my hopes where’er thou goest, Wither, yet with thee they go. Every feeling hath been shaken; Pride, which not a world could bow, Bows to thee–by thee forsaken, Even my soul forsakes me now: But ’tis done–all words are idle­ Words from me are vainer still; But the thoughts we cannot bridle Force their way without the will. Fare thee well! thus disunited, Torn from every nearer tie Sear ‘d in heart, and lone, and blighted, More than this I scarce can die.

For years, the riverbank was where Your soul felt most at peace Your heart was most content when there With the fish and the geese. But then, your spirit came to rest Where angels chose to roam And once equipped with ten-pound test You made yourself at home. The sky became your deep blue sea The clouds became your shore And there, for all eternity You sat with friends galore. Each angel was a fisherman Who had traded his pole For golden wings and a game plan At Heaven’s Fishing Hole.

I have loved you too much I guess when we love each other We sometimes argue and fight I love you too deeply So please don't argue or fight Don't let things get in our way Don't walk away from our love Give me a chance to love you Give me that chance to say I am sorry Don't just walk away from me Don't fight and argue with me. I love you deeply and please don't go Don't argue with me or fight with me You are the only one I have And the only thing to love So please stay with me Don't just walk away Give me that chance to love you Give me that chance to say that I am sorry. Please say that you love me too. Please love me forever and don't walk away. I will always love you no matter what. I LOVE YOU!

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) And it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you Here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) And this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

I think, no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not soon forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head, Nor all the tremulous things I said. You still will see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You'll hold me in your memory And keep my image, there without me, By telling later loves about me.

A candle burns bright in a window of gold A beacon for life's weary heart Promising beauty and splendours untold Of a world that now keeps us apart We travelled the path of our lives side by side But this path you walked on your own To a world where no pain and no suffering reside While I stay in this world alone So darling please tend to the candle for me And nourish the flame lest it dies Till the day when its radiant beauty I see And it guides me at last to your side

You're gone, and all that's left is nothing but memories, Memories that lead me to silence and tears. I miss your arms that hold me tight, Your snore that fills our room at night. You're gone, and I can no longer stare at you as you sleep, But thank God he lets me see you as I weep. In dreams we talk and laugh together. There I can say I love you more than ever. You're gone, and I feel so weary when I'm alone. Wish you were here and would come back home. I'm hurting and longing for your touch. Why does parting have to hurt this much? You're gone forever, and we are now apart. I'm filled with pain that breaks my heart. You used to playfully sneak behind the door. Those lovely eyes I see no more. You're gone, and I terribly miss your voice, Your laughter that fills the house with noise. Your absence makes me feel so blue. My life is empty without you. You're gone, but I know I shouldn't be so awful, For you left me a treasure to cherish and to nurture. Our precious little angel; she's all that I've got, A constant reminder that once I had your love.

If I could travel back in time I'd travel to your side Back to the day I said 'I do' And you made me your bride I'd make my promises again And wear the same gold ring Then share another life with you And wouldn't change a thing.
