melancholy%sympathy%the transience of life%the inevitability of mortality
Usually an elegy is a poem which laments the dead but Thomas Gray's Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard is noteworthy in that it mourns the death not of the great,but of the commons.On the one hand it voices the poet's sincere sympathy for the poverty-strick-en,expropriated peasants,on the other hand it explores the theme of life's transience and the inevitability of death,which both the commons and the high-born must confront.
