Definition: A mournful poem; Being sad for someone's death.
Example:
Too proud to die; broken and blind he died
The darkest way, and did not turn away,
A cold kind man brave in his narrow pride
On that darkest day, Oh, forever may
He lie lightly, at last, on the last, crossed
Hill, under the grass, in love, and there grow.
Significance: It important to have elegy poems because we can read it when we lose someone special. We can empathize with the poem's words and stanza. It like when your sad and you listen to a sad song that relates to your problem, well for this someone died, and you read elegy poems, to help you get though the sadness.
