This third candle we light in your memory. This second candle represents our courage. It reminds us of the depth of our love for you. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling flight, I am the starshine of the night. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood,įor nothing now can ever come to any good. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one Lee, commander of the Confederate Army, reportedly said, I dont believe we can have an army without music. I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong He created literary compositions for cantors. He was my North, my South, my East and West, Not too many years after his success with the choir, Jacob Schaefer devoted himself exclusively to music studies. Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. Put Crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Scribbling on the sky the message "He is Dead", Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,īring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Than that you should remember and be sad. You tell me of our future that you planned:Ī vestige of the thoughts that once I had,īetter by far you should forget and smile When you can no more hold me by the hand, Here are a few examples or non religious memorial or funeral poems.
There are many different poems and readings to choose from, short, long, and everything in between. Lux Aeterna is my harmonically-melodic painting of a moment when both, a choirs singing and light-rays streaming through a stained-glass window resonate. If you are having a funeral or memorial outside of church, or in a secular venue, or if the person you are memorializing is not religious person or an atheist, then non religious funeral poems can be the perfect way to verbalize your feelings or honor your loved one.
