can you explaine this to me as a story?

Question

Sir Walter Raleigh (1552(?)–1618)


EVEN such is time, that takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, our all we have,
And pays us but with earth and dust;
Who, in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our ways, 5
Shuts up the story of our days;
But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust.

thnks
all my best ibrahim

Answer 1

Life has a way for tinting everything: trust, joy, youth, and all we have. In the end, even life itself passes, and we go to the grave and then to dust.

But in all the situations, God is able to raise me up. Over not just death, but anything else that has tainted my life. That is why I trust in him.

Answer 2

Time takes away my happy youth, and then all the people i love, and finally it takes ME, removing me from everything i have ever known, and all i have is the grave. I am buried in the dark, silent earth, without even the memory of having lived and walked the world, or who i loved, or what i believed.

But God is merciful! He'll call me back to him.

Answer 3

Walter, or 'Wally' as he is known to his friends - :-) - is lamenting the uselessness and vanity of life and the stark hopelessness of death - but despite the apparent permanence of the grave still identifies himself with the hope of the ressurection and life hereafter.
