The only response
to a child's grave is
to lie down before it and play dead

mr. knott must have known such pain when he wrote this poem....the pain either from his own child or someone else's....i'm thinking of the pain of a mother i know who lost her child recently and feeling what is described in this poem which speaks of the most terrible experience in so few words...
