The conclusion - Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618)
Even such is time, which takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, and all we have,
And pays us but with age and dust.
Who in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our ways,
Shuts up the story of our days;
And from which earth, and grave, and dust
The Lord will raise me up, I trust.
Our youth, our joys, and all we have,
And pays us but with age and dust.
Who in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our ways,
Shuts up the story of our days;
And from which earth, and grave, and dust
The Lord will raise me up, I trust.
