There exist plots in human historical memory, which later paved their ways into the literature, that concentrate on the concepts of “Aging, Loneliness, and Death” in order to decode the mysterious essence of these concepts. Particularly the concept of Death with is filled with the secrets and complex questions, and takes over thee human lives. In this study, we attempt to investigate these concepts and meanings in art of poetry in order to delineate the connection, sequence, and timing of these three concepts in one hand and on the other hand, to delineate the link between thoughts related to these concepts and the poetry composing.
