Gray's Elegy
/ˌɡreɪz ˈelədʒi/
/ˌɡreɪz ˈelədʒi/
- the name most people use to refer to the poem called Elegy written in a Country Church Yard (1751) by Thomas Gray. It describes life in the country and the dignity of man, and was an early influence on the writers of the Romantic Movement. “The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea,The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,And leaves the world to darkness and to me.”
大多数人用这个名字来指代托马斯·格雷在乡村教堂院子里写的挽歌（Elegy）（1751）。它描述了乡村生活和人的尊严，对浪漫主义运动的作家产生了早期影响。 “宵禁敲响了离别的丧钟，低鸣的牛群风徐徐掠过草地，农夫踏着疲惫的路踏上回家的路，把世界留给黑暗和我。”
