"Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray is an elegy, that is,<u> a poem that expresses sorrow for someone that has died. </u>

In the poem, the speaker wonders about the different accomplishments of the dead men that have been buried in the churchyard. According to him, all men are equal in death; however,<u> he imagines that one of them could have been a good scholar and that another dead man, an old farmer, could have been a distinguished poet due to his great potential</u> ("Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest"). Furthermore, <u>he also speaks about a man that might have been a good leader for the nation</u> ("Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood"). The speaker also admits that some village men might have not accomplished nothing when they were alive bu<u>t they stand out due to their moral superiority.</u> Moreover, he is convinced that poverty has saved some people from spreading evil in the world.
