into the falling of the starre 
or as the flights of eagles are 
or like the fresh springs gawdy hue 
or silverdrops of morning dew 
or like the wind that chased the flood 
or bubbles that all waters stood 
even such is man whose borrowed light 
is fast called in and paid tonight 

the wind blows out the bubble dies 
the spring entomb'd in autumn lies 
the spring dries up the starre is shot 
the flight is past and man is forgot 

the spring dries up the bubble dies 
the spring entomb'd in autumn lies 
the well dries up and the starre is shot 
the flight is past and man is forgot 

and earth covers earth 
and time tryeth truth 
earth covers earth 
time tryeth truth
