[XxxmariacullenxxX]

[chocolatefountain95]

he looks stoned if you pause at the beginning

[femmecorbeau]

a killer scene in a great movie... celebrates life and tells the truth about grief. xoxoxoxo

[DanceTilWerHigh]

MAkes me cry every single time. Very beautiful. :(

[PIUKE09]

It's exactly what I felt when my father died...

[Fannys0921]

Just wonderful, I love when he says I thought that love would last forever, I was wrong, it so sad, you can tell how deep love can be, makes me wanna cry... How devastating can be to lose the one love you love.

[cLouisey]

I'm doing this poem in school "I was wrong" that sets me off

[Iluvgayboys]

Never fails to make me cry <3

[yaminovitchable]

[cliveandidan]

I wonder if he had to take more than one take to film this,there are not many people who can listen to this without welling up,great performance.

[TheAuva]

'He was my North, my South, my East and West'

That's when I dissolve...

[koolakalle]

R.I.P Ron Kakuk

[prhenwood]

WOW, His words are so powerful.......

[reallygonecat]

Auden was a genius that is plain

[kiwibiwi]

Regardless of peoples thoughts of the movie in general, it has to be said, anyone not brought to the verge of tears by the sentiment of this clip has no soul. One of my favourite poems ever written.

[MindAsFocus]

it has to be said that one who labels others as soulless is questionable in the integrity of their own soul

[kiwibiwi]

@MindAsFocus YAWN. Its not an accusation you moron. Learn to read things in context, else shut the **** up.

[MindAsFocus]

the depictions in my statement are accurate and fair. learn to rebut effectively. you probably mistake your mind for your soul anyways.

[kiwibiwi]

@MindAsFocus what a pompous tosser ! get a life.

[lisamj]

@kiwibiwi WOW...well said....i agree completely....great post....it's such an amazing poem. i can never shake the effect it has on me...so emotional. so genuine.

[Shaggy196102]

@kiwibiwi Totally agree, one of the best love poems every writtien I think

[muzzhar63]

Very poignant indeed, but what a fantastic eulogy

[Shubbimama]

"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 woods;

For nothing now can ever come to any good"

oh, the pain...

[whatisitfawlty]

This movie is hideous shite!

[hannahadelex]

whats this poem called and who's it by ?

[ultrapal78]

Funeral Blues research it with Google

[cmhmuscle]

It's by W H Auden, which he says in this clip. It is simply found by the first line, "Stop all the Clocks" , it does not have another title, at least I dont' think it does. You can google it and find the text easily

[dastafford]

Funeral Blues by W. H. Auden.

[liilMIIZZblondie]

Funeral Blues - W H Auden

[Tysjewieter]

Who died? I'm gonna watch the movie tomorrow so I just wanna prepare myself! :-P It's not a main character, is it?

-XxX-

[bajsjoanna]

[Tysjewieter]

I know :s But c'mon... Who dies????

[bajsjoanna]

Matthew (The guy reading the poem)s partner Gareth dies at one of the weddings

[aussieMHfan]

See I couldnt tell if it was his partner or not.. because at the wedding where gareth dies, hes chatting up women and thats where they were all meant to be finding partners.. so were they gay or not?

[aussieMHfan]

Yes it was one of the main gang, he had a heart attack

[rlm1993]

"Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead

Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,

Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,

Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves."

[thelukos]

This guy can deliver a reading! Gets me everytime. His accent also works perfectly

[ETAG231189]

[yellowdancer1111]

Este poema es maravilloso, y siempre me hace pensar en un ser querido que murió antes de tiempo.

[eriksau]

[fud99]

Funeral Blues 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 on the sky the message He is Dead.

Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,

Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

[fud99]

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.

[fud99]

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 woods;

For nothing now can ever come to any good.

W.H. Auden

[angelevelyndoyle]

There never been a poem that discribe the lose of someone you love

[supahoopsa001]

[ambrelynn]

I've heard a few readings of this poem and this is by far my favourite.

Im choked.

[iwatchseries]

Beautiful

[tommypompey]

great clip but put more tags on it

[ColevanFilms]

Beautiful.

[softlavender]

Nice, thanks so much.

Could you fix the spelling of "Funeral" in your title? (out of respect for the film and the poem) and fix the capitalization one way or another? That would really make it perfect!

Blessings ...

[Romanticidio]

mourning

[tomboyzrul]

love the scottish accent

W. H. Auden

[BarneyMac10]

Is He in reference to God in Nietzsche's Thus spake Zarathustra

[Bloodflower39]

I once wrote something or an English class that was very-unconsciously influenced by this reading of this poem. I am very disappointed to have remembered this scene. I thought I had done something both good and original. Now I know I have done not the latter. An incredible reading of an incredible poem. Auden viveat.

[WhistleDownTheWind33]

when he says 'i thought that love would last forever... i was wrong' it is the most beaituful thing ever. xx

[SavannaFuckett]

i love this guys voice!

[maxpower1912]

This is such a great movie! It's both warm, funny and incredibly sad. One of my all time favourites..

[funkyles]

Excellent scene

[PlaidBoy]

If you like this, and are a poetry fan, don't miss Cameron Diaz reading "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop. Was a surprising moment for me in a movie I didn't expect anything of. Very beautful.

[chopin65]

I just looked it up. It was very beautiful. My dearest friend has dyslexia. I'm also a huge Bishop fan, too. Thanks!

[NMSG27]

Terrible film but an excellent scene.

[chopin65]

Why is that? I thought it was lovely. Relationships are often just like the Characters in the film.

[marcb3000]

That's just great, Thank's a lot for this moments, I've just realise that sometimes you just can resignate for things that happend in our lifes but we just have to promise ourself, that we eon't forget them ever. THANK'S

[reybnnelg]

My ex is alive, but this recitation moved me: I think it applies to that which we had. And like any death, I mourned a while and thought that nothing would ever come to good. Since the end, I relived happier days wondering how I could have missed signs that something was dying. But one day, eventually, I started to hope in the future again. Thanks for posting it. If you don't mind, I will now and again allow that sad part of me to come by to visit this memorial.

[reybnnelg]

test

[sprink23]

This is exactly the clip I was looking for. It is the most touching and beautiful words that I have ever heard recited in a movie. I was an instant fan! Thanks again for posting this. It is perfect!

[ddrolc]

Beautiful poem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1973sheki]

it's my one of the best of the best movie..here i love the way of expressing the poems in it. i love each and every scene..

[pamloud1]

one of my all-tome top 5 movies

It represents a lot of loves and the poem knocks my socks off.

[Thornbird2455]

A beautiful poem beautifully narrated by John Hannah.

[excavotoroperator]

this reminds me of my split with my sons mother sigh great poem thoe they are suposed to creat intens feelings i guess

[sambart]

I cry at this nearly everytime I watch this clip :(

[taliesinseven]

This sort of thing does far more to silence mindless homophobes than a thousand Peter Tatchell/OUTRAGE stunts, because it shows, with heart searing clarity, that it is all about love, long before it is about sex.

[TurboDuck]

Bob on.

[ritami88]

I cried for each one of my friends when I saw this.

[Mutsjuuh]

I love this poem!! And I love his accent!! I love the way he brings it.. It's a great movie.. (L)

[madjen7uk]

same here!!!

[BaAngel]

Thank-you .. I've searched for this clip for ages

[adambachelder]

Best movie ever!!!111 LOL

[AllAboutMeMeMe]

I have never been 'into' poems, but when I watched Four Weddings and a Funeral: W.H.Auden...Funeral Blues summed up for me how I felt when someone I love died.

[hiahana]
