All Things Decay And Die

Title:     All Things Decay And Die
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

All things decay with time: The forest sees
The growth and down-fall of her aged trees;
That timber tall, which three-score lustres stood
The proud dictator of the state-like wood,
I mean the sovereign of all plants, the oak,
Droops, dies, and falls without the cleaver's stroke.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: All Things Decay And Die
