Ah this had such a reflective effect! With every stanza (and being the type of woman who rebels when told not to do something!!!), I found myself also remember various associations. I really liked this Gray.

Personally I would lose the last stanza as the penultimate one ends it perfectly, and the tone is lost with the last one. Just my opinion.

Much enjoyed.
