Parta Quies
by
A.E. Housman |
| Good-night; ensured release, |
| Imperishable peace, |
| Have these for yours, |
| While sea abides, and land, |
| And earth’s foundations stand, |
And heaven endures.
|
| When earth’s foundations flee, |
| Nor sky nor land nor sea |
| At all is found, |
| Content you, let them burn: |
| It is not your concern; |
Sleep on, sleep sound.
|
|
A.E. Housman |
