Sir Walter Raleigh (1554?1618)Verses Found in His Bible in the Gate-House at Westminster
E
Our youth, our joys, our all we have,
And pays us but with earth and dust;
Who, in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our ways,
Shuts up the story of our days;
But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust!
