An Epitaph
An Epitaph is written by Walter de la Mare. Epitaph is tomb of a dead body.
Where lies a beautiful lady.
Actually poet loved very much to that lady. She was very beautiful. One day that lady died and buried
finally in the grave. So in this poem poet is expressing his sad feeling for a lady who is lying in a
grave. The poet goes to the tomb which was made in the memory of that lady. He weeps there
bitterly and thinks who will remember her after his death. The poet is in the opinion that man is
mortal and soul is immortal. Poet says body falls down into pieces but soul changes the other new
body to live. The poet says whoever comes on the earth must die. But their fame remains
permanently in this universe.
