    I need to write something for school but I can not find the author of this poem. It starts off with describing a calm day and then shifts to the loss of the speaker's daughter. It talks about how he could only hear the casket closing over her and not the soothing words of others. It says how he'd give his dreams for a touch of her hand on his cheek. Does anyone know the author?

    I thought this section might get more notice and I need this today so I can finish my homework. I'm still searching on my own hopingto find it.
