Okay, here's the deal. Does anyone out there have the soundtrack to the movie "Four Weddings And A Funeral"? I am in desperate need of a poem that is on the soundtrack. A close Famliy Friend lost her young son in a boating accident recently. She needs this poem for the service and I've been charged with finding it.

I've searched all the usual sharing and torrent sites with no avail. HMV said they could order it for $35 and it would be here by Christmas (seriously). I need this in the next day or so.

If anyone here could rip a copy of it for me I, and a grieving mother, would be in your debt.

thanks,

The poem is by W. H. Auden. Like many of his other works, it is known by
its first line, "Stop All the Clocks"; it is also known as "Funeral Blues."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_a-eXIoyYA

"Stop all the clocks"
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 forever; 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 woods:
For nothing now can ever come to any good.


My guess is you need a sound bite. - Thu, 28 May 2009 9:30pm Edited: Thu, 28 May 2009 9:39pm
