An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard

(कब्रिस्तान में लिखा गया शोकगीत )
Reference:
This heart touching stanza has been taken from the poem “An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” composed by “Thomas Gray”.
Context:
The poet is standing in churchyard and says that ringing of evening bell shows that day has ended. He shows deep sympathy for the people who are lying buried. He appeals that ambitious people should not laugh at simple history of their lives.

Explanation Or Central Idea :
The poet says that poor people of the village are lying buried in simple and decaying graves. Cool pleasant air of morning swallow, twittering and cock’s sharp crow will not wake them up because they are completely dead. They were uneducated. Death is the end of everything. Death is unavoidable for the poor as well as the rich, the high as well as the low.
