W.H. Auden
I have already written an article about this poem which I love very much, the splendidly moving and tear-inducing Funeral Blues, also known by its first line "Stop all the clocks", by W.H. Auden.
This article listed the words of the poem, and also the best French translation I could find.
So today, here is the famed scene of the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, which brought this poem the fame it so justly deserves. Like many people, I came to know the poem through this moving rendition, with the inimitable Scottish accent of the actor, John Hannah, playing Matthew.
So here it is, folks... One of the greatest tear-jerkers of all times...

Thank you Cyraknow for this very interesting link. I did not know this poem, and find it very touching. And this rendition is indeed particularly moving.
