VII. Death: Immortality: HeavenLines found in his Bible in the Gate-house at Westminster
Sir Walter Raleigh (1554?1618)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.
