Digital Poetry Analysis

The poem starts out with the writer's comparing their state of mind being like a funeral.

The coffin being closed, the person being carried to their grave

Then Space - began to toll,

With those same Boots of Lead, again,

And creak across my Soul

And then I heard them lift a Box

The Mourners symbolizing sadness and death.

The stanzas are broken up into different stages of a funeral. Stanza One is the Wake, the second stanza is the funeral service, the third stanza is the funeral procession and then finally burial.

The poem uses a lot of metaphors and symbols. Some symbols include:

I Felt A Funeral In my Brain by Emily Dickinson

Funeral, the wake, mourning the individual who died

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, And Mourners to and fro Kept treading - treading - till it seemed That Sense was breaking through -

Funeral service, the funeral starting

My mind was going numb -

Kept beating - beating - till I thought

A Service, like a Drum -

And when they all were seated,
