Rabbi Ben Ezra

by Robert Browning
 Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in His hand

Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!'

Not that, amassing flowers,

The Last Hero

by G K Chesterton
 WE laid him to rest with tenderness;
Homeward we turned in the twilight’s gold;
We thought in ourselves with dumb distress—
All the story of earth is told.

A great deep heart like the hearts of old
Went forth; and the speaker had lost the thread,
Or all the story of earth was told.
