The poem tackles several significant subjects, including mortality, loneliness, grief, and quiet. The speaker addresses what it’s like to grieve over a loved one and how it isolates one from the outside world, which connects all three of these issues throughout the poem. The speaker demands in the first words that everyone stops talking and that “mourners come” to grieve. The speaker looks for change in the world but can’t seem to find it. They are alone in their grief, and nobody recognizes that sufficiently.
