Rosina Bullen - Elegy

Elegy

Now I live and now my life is done
Now I live and now my life is done

My prime of youth is but a frost of cares
My feast of joy is but a dish of pain
My crop of corn is but a field of tares
And all my good is but vain hope of gain

My life is fled and yet I saw no sun
Now I live and now my life is done
Now I live and now my life is done

The spring is past and yet it hath not sprung
The fruit is dead and yet the leaves are green
My youth is gone and yet I am but young
I saw the world and yet I was not seen

My thread is cut and yet it is not spun
Now I live and now my life is done
Now I live and now my life is done

I sought my death and found it in my womb
I looked for life and saw it was a shade
I trod the earth and knew it was my tomb
And now I die
Now I die
And now I am but made

My glass is full and now my glass is run
Now I live and now my life is done

Now I live and now my life is done
