6/10/2023 0 Comments Do not stand at my grave and weepShe doesn’t use any complicated or fancy language she sticks with simple words, maybe to stress that death is simple. There aren’t any awkward lines with too many or too few syllables, and the rhymes are simple but effective. First off, the rhyme scheme and rhythm of this poem are in perfect harmony. Wow…do you feel it? I get chills every time I read it. So…I apologize in advance for it being slightly morbid but it is probably my all-time favorite poem and it is just beautiful so ignore the sappiness for these wonderful twelve lines. This poem, written by Mary Elizabeth Frye in 1932, has become a popular poem to be read at funerals. I’m going to preface this post by warning you all that it is a little sappy and sad.
