Does anyone have a "good poem" (is there such a thing?) about losing a friend (or even a group of friends)?

How about this:

(writen by Robert Louis Stevenson)

SOON our friends perish,
Soon all we cherish
Fades as days darken - goes as flowers go.
Soon in December
Over an ember,
Lonely we hearken, as loud winds blow.
