Sir Walter Raleigh. 1552161878. The Conclusion
EVEN such is Time, that takes in trust | |
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 wander’d all our ways, | 5 |
Shuts up the story of our days; | |
But from this earth, this grave, this dust, | |
My God shall raise me up, I trust. |
