2. A "Shroud" is a cloth or an enveloping garment in which a dead person is wrapped for burial, while a "pall" is a cloth spread over a coffin or tomb. A narrow house is long but wide and a sepulcher is a small room or monument. These words impact the poem by "Shroud" and "pall" meaning death.
3. I believe this poem is about death In the beginnig of the poem until you get to the end and feel like you have been comforted by the bright sunshine looking down on you.
4. The tone In the first part of the poem has a dark evil Image to it. Whenever you get to line 30 the poem turns from dark and evil to a comforting image and giving us a sign of relief.
5. An elegy is a poem that has serious tone and typically a grief or sorrow toward the dead. The conventions of an elegy is when the poem shifts into a comfortable setting and gives a warm feeling inside.
6. The elements of the poem that are like a painting is the love and compassion for nature.
7. This poem is a historical piece because of the words and phrases it uses through out the poem. It shows romance by creating a tone of death and love towards nature and it is a Calvinist poem because the role play of god and how he controls nature.
