Abstrakt: This paper purports to define an elegy as a formal and sustained poem of lament for the death of a poem making references to the poems of the notable poets like Tennyson, Auden, Gray in English and Kannadasan, Mudiarasan's Irangar Paakkal in Tamil and shows how the elegiac poems by English and Tamil poets have line of similarity in treatment of theme and content making it clear that in the modern elegies both in English and Tamil, the term 'elegy' has taken a limited scale meaning 'a song of lamentation' giving vent to philosophical elements and notes as seen rather richly in Auden's In Memory of W.B. Yeats and Mudiarasan and Kannadasan's Irangar Pakkal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
