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. In the line that says stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone. The clock suggests that all the time is gonna. Then the speaker wants to shut the world out. 9Stop the happy image of the dog with the happy bone is like a happy image and the speaker is not happy. Imperative cut, stop and prevent.. the enjambment from line 3 to line 4 flows for the coffin that is coming in. the rhyme is AABB. The suffixes rhyme and it is a four line couplet. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'. gives significance with the capitals Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. The speaker wants the whole world to know that their loved one is dead and to mourn the dead. There is personification in the first line because aeroplanes do not moan also they cannot scribble. It is a solemn mood. It all rhymes together the first and second line rhyme while the third and fourth line rhymes. The doves are often a symbol of peace and so that may mean that the loved one is now at peace while the black cotton gloves symbolise death as the colour of death is often referred too as black. Enjambment from the first line to the second line gives the feel of flow. This was done deliberately as it is like scribbling the message across the whole world/sky. Shows how overwhelmed the speaker is. 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. this stanza empahsise the importance the role of the deaceased played in the speakers life. His reference to the person being north, south , east and west can be interpreted as everything because they are all the points on a compassing making the deceased presence seem all encompassing. Saying he is my morning week and my Sunday rest shows how much time these two people spent together. My moon and midnight can be assumed to be good and bad just as noon is like light connotations of good and midnight is dark connotations of bad, meaning this pair has been through a lot together. My talk and song can represent the good times they have had together. This seemingly unbreakable relationship was though to last forver, but it seems as if the speaker 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.

This last stanza could be a metaphor for the end of the funeral ceremony as it constantly refers to putting things away. It ends on a depressing note and it gives heed to the idea that one day we are all going to die so nothing is ever going to come to any good, cause were good as dead anyway.
