greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Work of Edgar Allan Poe : One Thread

Dear Sir, I am looking rather urgently for the poem/prose of E.A. Poe that was used in the funeral scene of the movie "Four weddings and a Funeral" It starts with: Stop all the clocks, let the mourners come.... It contains lines like: - my working week, my Sunday rest - pack up the moon and dismantle the sun Can you PLEASE HELP me!!! Thanking you in anticipation, Trudi van der Walt dreugene@intekom.co.za

Hey Trudi! The poem that you're looking for isn't by E.A. Poe but WH Auden. It's called "The more loving one" and you can find it at eg. http://www.audensociety.org/ Hope this was a help to you! Lea

By a mistake I accidently called the poem "the more loving one" (this is also a great poem -by the way) But actually the poem is called "Funeral blues". Sorry Lea
