XXII. SIR WALTER RALEIGH'S VERSES,
FOUND IN HIS BIBLE IN THE GATE-HOUSE AT WESTMINSTER.
(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 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!
W. R.
