You that seek what life is in death BY BARON BROOKE FULKE GREVIL

Caelica 83: You that seek what life is in death

 

BY BARON BROOKE FULKE GREVILLE

 

You that seek what life is in death,

Now find it air that once was breath.

New names unknown, old names gone:

Till time end bodies, but souls none.

Reader! then make time, while you be,

But steps to your eternity.

 

死亡中探求生命的你，

见证呼吸化为空气。

新名未知晓， 故识已飘遥：

躯壳有时尽， 灵魂永燃烧。

读者！ 惜时如你行，  

永恒在咫尺迎
