| In the End written by William Henry Davies |
| From "The Bird of Paradise", 1914 |
With all thy gold, thou canst not make
Time sell his sand;
With all thy cloth, a thin white shroud
Is Death's command;
Death gives thee but a poor man's space,
With all thy land.
The beggar in his grave and thou
Must be the same;
For neither thou nor he shall hear
Men's praise or blame;
Though thunder and a thousand rocks
Should call thy name.
