Answer: Elegy

Elegy (শোকগীতি / শোকগাঁথা কবিতা):

  • A meditative lyric poem expressing grief or mourning for the death of a friend or loved one.

  • Sometimes it laments tragic events.

  • Typically reflects personal sorrow, regret, and loss.

Examples:

  • Adonais by Percy Bysshe Shelley (on the death of John Keats)

  • Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray

  • In Memoriam by Alfred Tennyson

  • Lycidas by John Milton

Other literary devices for comparison:

  • Alliteration: Repetition of a consonant at the beginning of words or stressed syllables.

  • Oxymoron: Two contradictory ideas combined to reveal a hidden truth.

  • Limerick: A short, humorous five-line poem, often nonsensical, rhyming aabba.
