In Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" (1751), the speaker reflects on mortality and speculates about the accomplishments of the dead people buried in the churchyard. The poem is an elegy, that is, a lament for the dead.
First of all, the speaker thinks that one of the people buried might have been a good schoolar, or even a good leader for the nation. He also talks about another dead person, in the figure of an old farmer, that might have had a lot of potential to become a great poet.
