I have loved this poem reading by Emma Thompson ever since I saw the movie years ago as a kid. I wish there's a version where Emma Thompson reads the whole poem.
The comma is included because it has meaning. In the movie Wit (also sometimes spelled w;t) he character learns that the original poem uses a comma, rather than a semicolon, which completely changes the meaning of the last line
This is absolutely beautiful! So many lovely things are combined in this video: Donne's poetry, Pärt's music, Thompson's reading... And you've done a wonderful job with the text (even the right edition! ;). ! Very reminiscient of the opening sequence of Much Ado, which made me like it even more! Pity that lines 5-8 of the sonnet are not included. But I know that's not your fault.
That's amazing! What a funny coincidence! I was sure you had been inspired by Much Ado, but all my admiration to you for coming up with this idea yourself! You and Kenneth Branagh are obviously kindred spirits! ;D
It makes more grammatical sense with the semicolon, because otherwise it becomes a comma splice. "Death, thou shalt die" is a separate sentence. Therefore, there should be a period or semicolon, not a comma.
Such a beautiful poem, full of hope and comfort. Especially when u`ve had a sad and painful loss... Thnx a lot.

Think you so much

Not all poetry makes sense grammatically. You'd have to look up the video Wit - "Death, Be Not Proud" to understand what I mean.
I was only 21 when I died.
Me too
