Graveyard Poets were a group of 18th-century English poets known for meditative poems about death, loss, burial places, and the shortness of human life. Their work often uses churchyards, tombs, twilight, and quiet rural settings to reflect on mortality and spiritual questions. They were not a formal literary school, but a later label for poets with similar themes and moods.
Example
The moon leans over the churchyard gate,
And every headstone tells the hour:
Our bright lives fade like summer smoke,
Yet dust still keeps its silent power.
