Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard is a poem by Thomas Gray, completed in 1750 and first published in 1751. The poem's origins are unknown, but it was partly inspired by Gray's thoughts following the death of the poet Richard West in 1742. Originally titled Stanzas Wrote in a Country Church-Yard, the poem was completed when Gray was living near the Church of St Giles, Stoke Poges. It was sent to his friend Horace Walpole, who popularised the poem among London literary circles. Gray was eventually forced to publish the work on 15 February 1751 in order to preempt a magazine publisher from printing an unlicensed copy of the poem.

  • Élégie écrite dans un cimetière de campagne est un poème de Thomas Gray (1716-1771) publié en 1751. L'auteur a commencé à l'écrire peu après la mort de son ami Richard West. Plein de tristesse et probablement d'amertume face à la finitude de la vie humaine, il mène une réflexion stoïque assez sombre sur la mort, qui est incontournable dans l'univers des memento mori. Bien que Thomas Gray n'ait pas été un écrivain très prolifique, ce poème est l'un des plus célèbres du patrimoine anglais, et il est considéré comme une marque du début de la révolution romantique.

  • Elegia napisana na wiejskim cmentarzu (ang. Elegy written in a Country Churchyard) – wiersz osiemnastowiecznego angielskiego poety Thomasa Graya. Utwór ten, napisany w 1750 roku, jest jednym z najczęściej przedrukowywanych liryków oświeceniowych. Opublikowany został w 1751 roku. (pl)
  • الرثاء المكتوب في ساحة الكنيسة الريفية هي قصيدة كتبها توماس غراي، اكتملت في عام 1750 ونُشرت لأول مرة في عام 1751. أصول القصيدة غير معروفة، لكنها مستوحاة جزئيًا من أفكار غراي بعد وفاة الشاعر ريتشارد ويست عام 1742. أُنجزت القصيدة في الأصل بعنوان ستانزاس كتب في كونتري تشيرش يارد، عندما كان غراي يعيش بالقرب من كنيسة أبرشية سانت جايلز في ستك بغس. تم إرسالها إلى صديقه هوراس والبول، الذي شاع القصيدة بين الأوساط الأدبية في لندن. أُجبر غراي في النهاية على نشر العمل في 15 فبراير 1751 لمنع ناشر مجلة من طباعة نسخة غير مرخصة من القصيدة.

  • L'Elegia scritta in un cimitero campestre o Elegia scritta in un cimitero di campagna è un'opera di Thomas Gray, completata nel 1750 e pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1751. L'origine del poema è sconosciuta, ma è molto probabile che sia stata ispirata dalla morte del poeta Richard West, avvenuta nel 1742. Gray completò la redazione dell'Elegia nel periodo in cui viveva vicino al cimitero di Stoke Poges. Una copia fu inviata al suo amico Horace Walpole, che la fece circolare nei circoli letterari di Londra. Gray fu costretto a mandare in stampa l'elegia il 15 febbraio 1751, per prevenire l'imminente uscita di una copia senza licenza della sua opera. (it)
  • Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard is het bekendste werk van de Engelse dichter Thomas Gray. Aangenomen wordt dat hij het gedicht schreef op de begraafplaats van Stoke Poges in Buckinghamshire, waar Gray zelf begraven ligt naast zijn moeder. Het gedicht behoort nog altijd tot de populairste en meest geciteerde gedichten in Engeland. Hij wordt, mede op basis van dit werk, wel gerekend tot de preromantische stroming van het sentimentalisme en een voorloper van de Romantiek. Gray wordt door de Elegy beschouwd als de vader van de kerkhofpoëzie. (nl)
