On My Aunt Mrs. A. K. Comments

Was quite a tribute until the last 4 lines. I am surprised that her death was so undeserved- -everything born on this earth must also die. Though I disagree with the philosophy behind these lines- I thought they were the strongest and most worthy lines in the piece

Calls to mind the words of the philosopher William Joel, who reminded us that only the good die young. Interesting perspective of the author that the end of life in this frame of existence is an extinguishment carried out by an angry heaven, rather than the usual contemporary view of a good soul having been called home.

The Star that 'bove her Orb did always move, And yet the Noblest did not Hate, but Love; Loved these lines. Enjoyed reading it. 10.

In my sight! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

A beautiful poem with stunning expression. It may be quoted... When angry Heav'n extinguisht her fair Light, It seem'd to say, Nought's Precious in my sight; As I in Waves this Paragon have drown'd, The Nation next, and King I will confound. Thanks and congratulation to her soul for being selected as the poem of the day.
