Great poem. Full of emotions. I'm tempted to translate it into Hindi. Thanks.

Sir Walter Raleigh - the true poet and wit, a man who has lived and seen life for what it is.and even ventures into the realms of after death - with his true wit.

This is a beautiful poem- I read it at my grandad's funeral recently - he and my nan are buried together 'underneath the Berkshire Downs' and there are two lines from the poem on their headstone. However I must point out that the poet is Walter Alexander Raleigh, (1861 - 1922,) not Sir Walter Raleigh!

I will print this poem and put it with my will so that my loved ones will see the universality of 'it' all. This all sounds so happy, that one doesn't mind to die.
