Do Not Stand At My Grave & Weep
Anonymous
Illustrated by Paul Saunders
This beautiful and moving poem by an unknown author, was left by a soldier killed in Ulster 'to all my loved ones'. Six years later, on Remembrance Sunday 1995, it was read by his father on the BBC TV programme Bookworm, provoking a deluge of requests from viewers for copies of the poem.
This special edition, sensitively
Illustrated with delicate drawings by Paul Saunders, is intended as a lasting keepsake for those mourning a loved one. Its message of comfort, hope and renewal, which has already brought consolation to many thousands, sets it beside Canon Henry Scott Holland's famous Death is Nothing at All (also in this series, illustrated by Paul Saunders) and Christina Rossetti's Remember Me When I Am Gone Away as one of the great inspirational poems for those suffering bereavement and loss.
