Latter-Day Psalms/Time
TIME
Wherefore hast thou made the world that it shall die, and the heavens that they shall burn out like a flame?
What wilt thou do when the stars are all extinguished, and there is no place for life?
The sons of men have builded for themselves a house of beauty. It is continually embellished.
The last of the generations shall dwell therein and die; and the beauty that was builded shall be no more.
A lover and his beloved have met together in the evening. Evening shall return, but they return not.
The home that seemed eternal is broken up and scattered. The children remember it; they die; it is no more.
I am heavy of heart because of fleeting time, and because all things come to nought.
