'Epitaph' (poem) written by Sir Walter Ralegh

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 shall raise me up, I trust.
