Hi I am looking for a poem from a poet from 19th century I don't remember poem completely but it has this line in the poem oh lord how lonely are the dead something like this Any help?

Answer 1

Dios Mio! Que Solos se quedan los Muertos! is a poem by the Spanish poet Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. It has been set by many (predominantly Spanish) classical composers, but particularly Manuel de Falla.

The title is usually translated My God! How lonely are the Dead.

Answer 2

The line you mentioned is from the poem "To One in Paradise" by Edgar Allan Poe. The full line is "oh God! oh Heaven!- how my heart beats in coupling those words!" and the poem describes the feeling of longing and loss for a deceased loved one.
