"Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray follows the elegiac tradition by mourning the passing of common people and reflecting on the transience of life.

What are characteristics of elegy?
Elegies are poems that express feelings of mourning or sorrow, often written in memory of someone who has passed away. They typically reflect on themes of loss, grief, and nostalgia. Elegies often have a formal structure and somber tone.
How do you write a elegy poem?
Elegies emerge from deep grief over a loss. If there is no deep grief, there is no question of an elegy. Deep grief has the power of arresting the utterance of words even though they would continue to form. When the grief is abated somewhat, words will spontaneously outflow. Emotions of grief are the essentials to elegies, the purity, universality and nobility of which make elegies great. In spite of Plato's warning about elegies making and teaching people unnecessarily lament and weep, it should be emphasized that like true tragedies, an elegy purges, cleanses and catharcises human emotions. It is good to read Thomas Gray's Elegy Written In A Country Churchyard, Milton's Lycidas, Shelley's Adonais and Tennyson's In Memoriam before attempting to write an elegy.
