For this poem i feel that she is explaining the sounds that you would hear if attending a funeral. ” Mourners to and fro Kept treading- treading” from that i get that in her mind she was hearing people walking back and forth viewing the body. When she uses the word service that’s the key word that jumps out to me and left me know its really a funeral. ” And then i heard them lift a Box” this would be the pallbearers carrying the casket into the graveyard. ” And then a plank in Reason, broke, And i dropped down, and down” Being lowered into the ground. The conclusion about death that she arrives to is she doesn’t really know happens once a person is lowered into the ground that’s the farthest that anyone can take it because we do not know what to expect after that.
