Old Gray Cemetery
543 North Broadway
Knoxville, TN 37917

The Curfeu tolls the Knell of parting Day,
The lowing Herd winds slowly o'er the Lea,
The Plowman homeward plods his weary Way,
And leaves the World to Darkness, and to me.

Now fades the glimmering Landscape on the Sight,
And all the Air a solemn Stillness holds;
Save where the Beetle wheels his droning Flight,
And drowsy Tinklings lull the distant Folds.

From "Elegy Written in
a Country Churchyard"
by Thomas Gray, for whom
Old Gray Cemetery is named
