This  poem is composed  by  'Thomas  Gray'.The poet  is standing in a country churchyard, where he hears the  church bells  announcing the end of a day and  his  reminds him of  funeral bells. He mourns the death of the  village people, who lie buried in their small graves all around the churchyard. They had  no ambitions in life and  lead  a  simple  life. They remained unknown and  unrecognised. The poet concludes that  nothing in life  is  everlasting. Death is  sure  come to everyone sooner  or later.
