The poem
The men that worked for England They have their graves at home: And bees and birds of England About the cross can roam.
But they that fought for England, Following a falling star, Alas, alas for England They have their graves afar.
And they that rule in England, In stately conclave met, Alas, alas for England, They have no graves as yet.
Yes!!! I Would really appreciate it if you would right the whole poem on the website. you left out all of the shifts and the most important part, which is the epitaph that is at the end.
you're thinking of "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray written which is from the 1700s, this poem is different
