The Smiths - cemetry gates

햇살 가득한 날, 화자는 묘지에서 만난 연인과 함께 죽은 이들의 삶과 감정을 되새기며 그들의 생애에 대한 슬픔을 표현합니다
자신의 감정과 생각을 타인의 것이 아닌 진정한 자기 것으로 풀어낼 것을 강조하며, 창작에 있어 진실성과 독창성을 중요시합니다
또한, 타인의 것을 베끼는 것에 대한 경고를 하며 세상에 항상 내 주변을 비웃는 사람들이 있음을 언급합니다

A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
While Wilde is on mine
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
All those people, all those lives
Where are they now?
With-a loves and hates and passions just like mine
They were born, and then they lived
And then they died
Seems so unfair, I want to cry
You say, "'Ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"
And you claim these words as your own
But I've read well and I've heard them said
A hundred times, maybe less, maybe more
If you must write prose and poems
The words you use should be your own
Don't plagiarise or take on loan
'Cause there's always someone, somewhere
With a big nose, who knows
And who trips you up and laughs when you fall
Who'll trip you up and laugh when you fall
