Eamonn Fitzgerald's Rainy Day

The entire poem, please:

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone.
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling in the sky the message He is Dead,
Put crêpe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever, I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun.
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

"Funeral Song" by Auden

The poem, commonly known by its opening words, "Stop all the clocks," exists in two very different versions: the original version in five stanzas, and the version in four stanzas from 1938 that became famous when it was recited in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral.

The original five-stanza version was a parody of a poem of mourning for a political leader written for the verse play The Ascent of F6, which Auden wrote with Christopher Isherwood in 1936. Both the original and the version share the first and second stanzas, but the endings are entirely different

The final four-stanza version of the poem was written to be sung by the soprano Hedli Anderson, in a setting by Benjamin Britten. In this form, Auden contributed it to an anthology The Year's Poetry, 1938, compiled by Denys Kilham Roberts and Geoffrey Grigson (London, 1938), and included it in his book Another Time as one of four poems headed "Four Cabaret Songs for Miss Hedli Anderson"; the poem itself was titled "Funeral Blues" in this edition. (Auden never gave the poem any other title.)
