In the poem "Afterwards," Hardy uses many euphemisms to refer to death. He never actually says the words die, dead, or death.
Instead, he says things like: "If I pass during..." Here, the term "pass" is replacing the word "die." He also uses the very wordy "When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay" (which basically means "When the present is behind me" or "When I am part of the past").
The effect of these euphemisms is to have a quiet, calming effect on the reader. If he constantly used the words "die" and "death" throughout the poem, the dreamlike quality of the poem would be altered.
Instead, using terms like "afterward" and all the other euphemisms allows Hardy to discuss death without actually discussing it. In this way, he wonders what the rest of the world will do "after."

<span>The correct answer is the Annular Solar Eclipse. An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun's inside, leaving the Sun's unmistakable external edges to shape a "ring of flame" or annulus around the Moon. The ring of flame denotes the most extreme phase of an annular sun oriented shroud. Sunlight based shrouds happen when the Moon throws a shadow on Earth.</span>
