I felt cold and powerless when I finish reading the poem. Two feelings so common in front of death. The little girl's innocence has just been eroded and she faces the demands of reality...sometimes so hard and irrational. Beautiful.

this poem is written through a childs pespective, she describes the coffin as being a "little frosted cake" and refers to jack frost painting the colour onto her cousins hair, both something a young child would observe. Aslo i think when she writes of the chromographs above the coffin she is showing the importance of the royal family at the time.

It's about the death of a young boy. the author uses imagery effectively which is quite difficult for me to understand.
