The Conclusion

By Sir Walter Raleigh

1552-1618


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,
Shuts up the story of our days;
But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust.
