The sun shines brightly here, but there where he is, it will shine even more brilliantly. She addresses God that she may not shed a tear to dew the sod under which he is buried and sleeping peacefully, but he is waiting for her to come to where the sun will beam on them there.

The few film adaptations of his works which I have seen have also been lackluster in comparison to the original text. The most successful adaptation of his work, I believe, is the Simpsons "Tree House of Horror" episode retelling his poem, "The Raven." While there is a comedic element to this adaptation, it is still very spooky and remains faithful to the original text. I think because the entire poem is read aloud, in James Earl Jones's rich baritone no less, the retelling is able to remain faithful to the original poem. With animation, one can also create any environment, change in lighting, and other elemental factors which contribute to the overall tone, which might be limited in a stage production.
