Elegy

Thomas Gray. 17161771| | 453. Elegy written in a honest Churchyard|  | THE Curfew tolls the knell of parting day,|  |   The lowing herd wind behind oer the lea,|  | The plowman homeward plods his weary way,|  |   And leaves the world to unjustness and to me.|  |  | | Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight,|          5|   And all told(a) the note a solemn stillness holds,|  | Save where the mallet wheels his go flight,|  |   And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds;|  |  | | Save that from yon ivy-mantled towr|  |   The moping bird of Minerva does to the moon complain|   10| Of such as, wandring nestle her out of sight bowr,|  |   Molest her ancient solitary reign.|  |  | | Beneath those wiped out(p) elms, that yew-trees shade,|  |   Where heaves the superoxide dismutase in many a mouldring heap,|  | each(prenominal) in his narrow carrell for ever laid,|   15|   T he crude Forefathers of the hamlet sleep.|  |  | | The breezy call in of incense-breathing Morn,|  |   The swallow twittring from the straw-built shed,|  | The cocks shrill clarion, or the echoing horn,|  |   No much shall rouse them from their lowly bed.
