Poetry Friday: “The Old Churchyard,” performed by Offa Rex

A bit of a departure from the past few weeks, but music is poetry too, and I can’t stop watching this video so I thought it would be a good way to wrap up National Poetry Month.  Just try watching it only once and without crying – especially the last verse: “I rest in the hope that one bright day / sunshine will burst to these prisons of clay / and old Gabriel’s trumpet and the voice of the Lord / will wake up the dead in the old churchyard.”  Go on, I dare you.
