poems for the soul – part 5

Posted on Tuesday 30th November 2010 by Louise Carron Harris

Thanks to The Good Funeral Guide for bringing this lovely funeral poem to our attention.

Parta Quies

Good-night; ensured release,
Imperishable peace,
Have these for yours,
While sea abides, and land,
And earth’s foundations stand,
And heaven endures.

When earth’s foundations flee,
Nor sky nor land nor sea
At all is found,
Content you, let them burn:
It is not your concern;
Sleep on, sleep sound

by AE Housman
