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，

見證呼吸化為空氣。

新名未知曉， 故識已飄遙：

軀殼有時盡， 靈魂永燃燒。

讀者！ 惜時如你行，  

永恒在咫尺迎
