A poem by Sir Walter Raleigh

So I am taking English Lit this term and I wanted to post one of the poems that we read. I really like it.
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.
