<P> `` You can shed tears that she is gone ... '' is the opening line of a piece of popular verse , based on a short prose poem , `` Remember Me '' , written in 1982 by English painter and poet David Harkins ( born 14 November 1958 ) . The verse -- sometimes also known as `` She Is Gone '' -- has often been given an anonymous attribution , but Harkins claimed his original authorship after it was chosen by Queen Elizabeth II as part of the funeral ceremony for her mother , Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother , in April 2002 . It has subsequently become a popular choice to be read at funeral ceremonies , although according to Harkins it was originally written about unrequited love , rather than death . </P>
