Halloween poems on death and souls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Halloween death poems, dead spirits and departed souls with the passed away essence of our ancestors existing around the living by the World of English that is English-culture.com<\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween for the year 2025 is celebrated\/observed on Friday, October 31st<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What the dead had no speech for, when living, They can tell you, being dead: the communication Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.<\/span>
\nT.S. Eliot, Four Quartets<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists. You cannot value him alone; you must set him, for contrast and comparison, among the dead.<\/span>
\nT. S. Eliot<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Be silent in that solitude,<\/span>
\nWhich is not loneliness – for then<\/span>
\nThe spirits of the dead, who stood<\/span>
\nIn life before thee, are again<\/span>
\nIn death around thee, and their will<\/span>
\nShall overshadow thee; be still.<\/span><\/p>\n

All Souls\u2019 Night<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You heap the logs and try to fill <\/span>
\nThe little room with words and cheer, <\/span>
\nBut silent feet are on the hill, <\/span>
\nAcross the window veiled eyes peer. <\/span>
\nThe hosts of lovers, young in death, <\/span>
\nGo seeking down the world to-night, <\/span>
\nRemembering faces, warmth and breath –<\/span>
\nAnd they shall seek till it is light. <\/span>
\nThen let the white-flaked logs burn low, <\/span>
\nLest those who drift before the storm <\/span>
\nSee gladness on our hearth and know <\/span>
\nThere is no flame can make them warm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Petit mort pour rire – Poem by Tristan Corbiere<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Va vite, l\u00e9ger peigneur de com\u00e8tes !<\/span>
\nLes herbes au vent seront tes cheveux ;<\/span>
\nDe ton \u0153il b\u00e9ant jailliront les feux<\/span>
\nFollets, prisonniers dans les pauvres t\u00eates\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Les fleurs de tombeau qu\u2019on nomme Amourettes<\/span>
\nFoisonneront plein ton rire terreux\u2026<\/span>
\nEt les myosotis, ces fleurs d\u2019oubliettes\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Ne fais pas le lourd : cercueils de po\u00e8tes<\/span>
\nPour les croque-morts sont de simples jeux,<\/span>
\nBo\u00eetes \u00e0 violon qui sonnent le creux\u2026<\/span>
\nIls te croiront mort – Les bourgeois sont b\u00eates<\/span>
\nVa vite, l\u00e9ger peigneur de com\u00e8tes !<\/span><\/p>\n

For Annie<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank Heaven! the crisis,<\/span>
\nThe danger, is past,<\/span>
\nAnd the lingering illness<\/span>
\nIs over at last –<\/span>
\nAnd the fever called “Living”<\/span>
\nIs conquered at last.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sadly, I know<\/span>
\nI am shorn of my strength,<\/span>
\nAnd no muscle I move<\/span>
\nAs I lie at full length –<\/span>
\nBut no matter! – I feel<\/span>
\nI am better at length.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I rest so composedly,<\/span>
\nNow, in my bed,<\/span>
\nThat any beholder<\/span>
\nMight fancy me dead –<\/span>
\nMight start at beholding me,<\/span>
\nThinking me dead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The moaning and groaning,<\/span>
\nThe sighing and sobbing,<\/span>
\nAre quieted now,<\/span>
\nWith that horrible throbbing<\/span>
\nAt heart: – ah, that horrible,<\/span>
\nHorrible throbbing!<\/span><\/p>\n

The sickness – the nausea –<\/span>
\nThe pitiless pain –<\/span>
\nHave ceased, with the fever<\/span>
\nThat maddened my brain –<\/span>
\nWith the fever called “Living”<\/span>
\nThat burned in my brain.<\/span><\/p>\n

And oh! of all tortures<\/span>
\nThat torture the worst<\/span>
\nHas abated – the terrible<\/span>
\nTorture of thirst<\/span>
\nFor the naphthaline river<\/span>
\nOf Passion accurst: –<\/span>
\nI have drank of a water<\/span>
\nThat quenches all thirst: –<\/span><\/p>\n

Of a water that flows,<\/span>
\nWith a lullaby sound,<\/span>
\nFrom a spring but a very few<\/span>
\nFeet under ground –<\/span>
\nFrom a cavern not very far<\/span>
\nDown under ground.<\/span><\/p>\n

And ah! let it never<\/span>
\nBe foolishly said<\/span>
\nThat my room it is gloomy<\/span>
\nAnd narrow my bed;<\/span>
\nFor man never slept<\/span>
\nIn a different bed –<\/span>
\nAnd, to sleep, you must slumber<\/span>
\nIn just such a bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

My tantalized spirit<\/span>
\nHere blandly reposes,<\/span>
\nForgetting, or never<\/span>
\nRegretting, its roses – <\/span>
\nIts old agitations<\/span>
\nOf myrtles and roses:<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, while so quietly<\/span>
\nLying, it fancies<\/span>
\nA holier odor<\/span>
\nAbout it, of pansies – <\/span>
\nA rosemary odor,<\/span>
\nCommingled with pansies –<\/span>
\nWith rue and the beautiful<\/span>
\nPuritan pansies.<\/span><\/p>\n

And so it lies happily,<\/span>
\nBathing in many<\/span>
\nA dream of the truth<\/span>
\nAnd the beauty of Annie –<\/span>
\nDrowned in a bath<\/span>
\nOf the tresses of Annie.<\/span><\/p>\n

She tenderly kissed me,<\/span>
\nShe fondly caressed,<\/span>
\nAnd then I fell gently<\/span>
\nTo sleep on her breast –<\/span>
\nDeeply to sleep<\/span>
\nFrom the heaven of her breast.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the light was extinguished,<\/span>
\nShe covered me warm,<\/span>
\nAnd she prayed to the angels<\/span>
\nTo keep me from harm –<\/span>
\nTo the queen of the angels<\/span>
\nTo shield me from harm.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I lie so composedly,<\/span>
\nNow, in my bed,<\/span>
\n(Knowing her love)<\/span>
\nThat you fancy me dead –<\/span>
\nAnd I rest so contentedly,<\/span>
\nNow in my bed<\/span>
\n(With her love at my breast).<\/span>
\nThat you fancy me dead –<\/span>
\nThat you shudder to look at me,<\/span>
\nThinking me dead:-
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

But my heart it is brighter<\/span>
\nThan all of the many<\/span>
\nStars in the sky,<\/span>
\nFor it sparkles with Annie –<\/span>
\nIt glows with the light<\/span>
\nOf the love of my Annie –<\/span>
\nWith the thought of the light<\/span>
\nOf the eyes of my Annie.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Death<\/a>
Death is not the greatest loss<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Annabel Lee<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was many and many a year ago,<\/span>
\n In a kingdom by the sea,<\/span>
\nThat a maiden there lived whom you may know<\/span>
\n By the name of Annabel Lee;<\/span>
\nAnd this maiden she lived with no other thought<\/span>
\n Than to love and be loved by me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was a child and she was a child,<\/span>
\n In this kingdom by the sea,<\/span>
\nBut we loved with a love that was more than love –<\/span>
\n I and my Annabel Lee –<\/span>
\nWith a love that the wing\u00e8d seraphs of Heaven<\/span>
\n Coveted her and me.<\/span><\/p>\n

And this was the reason that, long ago,<\/span>
\n In this kingdom by the sea,<\/span>
\nA wind blew out of a cloud, chilling<\/span>
\n My beautiful Annabel Lee;<\/span>
\nSo that her highborn kinsmen came<\/span>
\n And bore her away from me,<\/span>
\nTo shut her up in a sepulchre<\/span>
\n In this kingdom by the sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,<\/span>
\n Went envying her and me –<\/span>
\nYes! – that was the reason (as all men know,<\/span>
\n In this kingdom by the sea)<\/span>
\nThat the wind came out of the cloud by night,<\/span>
\n Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.<\/span><\/p>\n

But our love it was stronger by far than the love<\/span>
\n Of those who were older than we – <\/span>
\n Of many far wiser than we –<\/span>
\nAnd neither the angels in Heaven above<\/span>
\n Nor the demons down under the sea<\/span>
\nCan ever dissever my soul from the soul<\/span>
\n Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;<\/span><\/p>\n

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams<\/span>
\n Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;<\/span>
\nAnd the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes<\/span>
\n Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;<\/span>
\nAnd so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side<\/span>
\n Of my darling – my darling – my life and my bride,<\/span>
\n In her sepulchre there by the sea – <\/span>
\n In her tomb by the sounding sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Upon that night, when fairies light<\/span>
\nOn Cassilis Downans dance,<\/span>
\nOr owre the lays, in splendid blaze,<\/span>
\nOn sprightly coursers prance;<\/span>
\nOr for Colean the route is ta\u2019en,<\/span>
\nBeneath the moon\u2019s pale beams;<\/span>
\nThere, up the cove, to stray and rove,<\/span>
\nAmong the rocks and streams<\/span>
\nTo sport that night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the bonny winding banks,<\/span>
\nWhere Doon rins, wimplin\u2019 clear,<\/span>
\nWhere Bruce ance ruled the martial ranks,<\/span>
\nAnd shook his Carrick spear,<\/span>
\nSome merry, friendly, country-folks,<\/span>
\nTogether did convene,<\/span>
\nTo burn their nits, and pou their stocks,<\/span>
\nAnd haud their Halloween<\/span>

\nGar lasses\u2019 hearts gang startin\u2019<\/span>

Then, first and foremost, through the kail,<\/span>
\nTheir stocks maun a\u2019 be sought ance;<\/span>
\nThey steek their een, and graip and wale,<\/span>
\nFor muckle anes and straught anes.<\/span>
\nPoor hav\u2019rel Will fell aff the drift,<\/span>
\nAnd wander\u2019d through the bow-kail,<\/span>
\nAnd pou\u2019t, for want o\u2019 better shift,<\/span>
\nA runt was like a sow-tail,<\/span>
\nSae bow\u2019t that night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, staught or crooked, yird or nane,<\/span>

\nAnd every now and then he says,<\/span>
