elegiac stanza

poetry

in poetry, a quatrain in iambic pentameter (iamb) with alternate lines rhyming. Though the older and more general term for this is heroic stanza, the form became associated specifically with elegiac poetry when Thomas Gray (Gray, Thomas) used it to perfection in “An Elegy Written in a Country Church Yard” (1751). From the mid-18th to the mid-19th century the form was usually used for elegiac verse, of which the best-known example is Gray's poem, which begins:

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,

The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea,

The plowman homeward plods his weary way,

And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
