My favourite from Auden is "In Memory of W.B. Yeats". I think you would like the sardonic tone and the marked funereal rhythm. I often quote it.
For Spender - I recommend "I Think Continually of Those Who Were Truly Great". I find it breathtaking in its intensity.
Will you permit me one more?
Dylan Thomas - "And Death Shall Have No Dominion". This is a poem we all need in these times. The line, "Though lovers be lost love shall not", is eternally reassuring to me. It is worth the reading.

I did this meme, badly since I am unaccustomed to talking about me. Heh!
