"Home They Brought Her Warrior Dead" is a poem by Alfred Tennyson about a woman who lost her husband in battle.
The woman's lack of visible grief worries her friends, who fear that she may die if she does not properly mourn her husband.

One of the young women present removes the cloth covering the dead man's face, hoping that this will help the widow to grieve.
