Sad poetry

[Bigpub]

Can anyone tell me more about the poem which starts 'You are my night my day my earth my sea...etc'

It was used a few years ago in a drink drive campaign.

dont know exactly what you mean, but you might be talking about stop all the clock by W H Auden...it was used in the funeral in four weddings and a funeral.....

[Morrisonker]

Stop all the clocks goes:

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.

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 for ever: 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.

gorgeous poem. 

If that's not it try googling the line you remember or if it was an NHS/HEBS advert, go on the website and email them, they'll probably have a record of it somewhere

Yes this is it

Thanx Morrisonker

Gawd that poem is wonderful, yet SO SAD!  I wonder if it was written about someone.  Amazing imagination if not....
