A Death Song Comments

To the family of the late poet: Congratulations being chosen as The Classic Poem Of The Day!

Approaching his own futural death perhaps, since he suffered from tiberculosis. At the young age of 33 he died of this disease. Very tragic. Top Marks for this precious Death Song.

I do not like death songs and death poems.

Beautifully composed poem

A beautiful verse by Pau Laurence Dunbar...........................

Whah de little birds in spring, Ust to come an' drink an' sing, An' de chillen waded on dey way to school. a very fine poem, Tony

There's what you knew in life and then there's what you would have rather known. No doubt in this person's life there is much a person can say he would have rather known. But, in thinking about his death and where he will be after his time on this earth, he would rather be layin' 'mong de t'ings I's allus knowed. Much peace in the now and the next.

Nice lyrical write. Sing it out loud and proud.

Great write....I'll like to hear someone recite it though.

A bygone age, reflects death as relief, when living, to some, meant suffering.

Earth! ! Living; Facing the romance of nature. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

We are all dying the day we are born. this is a haunting poem. I always love a good Death poem!
