The Dead They Sleep - Samuel Hoffenstein

http://allspirit.co.uk/dying.html

Minamoto Yorimasa :

This poem is short but the message is fairly simple. It's about how he's lying in the ground dead thinking about how he didn't live a good life and wishing he had lived it better. 

The Dead they Sleep:


This poem is a bit longer but it gives a good message how the dead sleep and are peaceful, but the living are opposite, sad and distraught.
