Even such is time, that takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, our 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.
But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust!

 
Sir Walter Raleigh
 

Even such is time, that takes on 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!

 
Sir Walter Raleigh

in reeking tube and iron shard,
all valiant dust that builds on dust
and guarding calls not thee to guard
for frantic boast and foolish word
thy mercy on thy people lord!

 
Rudyard Kipling
 

Who then to frail mortality shall trust
But limns the water, or but writes in dust.

The knight's bones are dust,
And his good sword rust;
His soul is with the saints, I trust.

 
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
