If I Should Die Comments

There is a magical essence in this perceptive piece of poetry. The feelings surrounding the death and the continuation of life is dealt in the tenderest of manners.

I found a slip of paper I had written part of this poem on a very long time ago. Some of the words were wrongI have only today after a long search fpund what I had been looking for, so now I can add it to a notebook in which I have written a number of my favourites..

It appears this poem by Gray was loosely plagiarized by a version written by Mary Hall, an American jurist.

Thomas Gray is incredible... his 'Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard' is the most incredible piece of work I have ever read.

I have a vision to write like this, only if god would bless me enough to.12
