a type of poem which is very sad and thouhgtful. This type of poem is about a dead person.
Usage:
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
Importance:
Elegy is very important because it is a different kind of poem. Because this type of poem is very meaningful, it usually makes the reader think a lot about what happened to the dead person and how did a person's death affect the speaker. Elegy is very sad, which means it creates a strong imagery to the reader. Finally, I think that elegy sometimes teaches people life lessons about people's deaths.
