EVEN SUCH IS TIME - by Sir Walter Raleigh





EVEN  SUCH  IS  TIME  


by Sir Walter Raleigh



    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 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.
