Share Result
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 the 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
.
