A great poem that touches the core heart of the readers executing the rustic forefathers’ lives and emotions is nothing but Gray’s Country Churchyard which uplands the lawn with kindred spirit. Gray harnesses the poem with the breezy calls that enviously kiss us in the destiny of ‘’homely joys’’. The humble buried beds are not only twittering ears of Gray but also they are the signification of clarion call that figure out solemn background of the rude forefathers who unlike the citizen of city swelled their ‘’paths of glory’’ against the ‘’inevitable hour’’. As an advocate of the down-trodden, Gray tries to persuade that the rich should not look down upon the poor. The poor are also respectable being though they do not get an opportunity to elevate their lives as do the rich. Furthermore, though they were not able to cremate their dead bodies in the boundary of the churchyard, it was not their faults. Despite the wealthy and the proud people though get place to be cremated in the churchyards singing the hymns in honor of dead, they suffer huge setbacks in this worldly affairs. Because time is the grand mower whose sickle never leaves anybody whether rich or poor but mows down all forever.
