“War's annals will cloud into night
Ere their story die.”
" In Time of 'The Breaking Of Nations'" http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/hardy/poems/breaking.html (1915), lines 1-12, from Moments of Vision (1917); the title is derived from lines of Jeremiah 51:20: "Thou art my battle ax and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations." <br class="br">Context: p>Only a man harrowing clods<br>In a slow silent walk<br>With an old horse that stumbles and nods<br>Half asleep as they stalk.Only thin smoke without flame<br>From the heaps of couch-grass;<br>Yet this will go onward the same<br>Though Dynasties pass.Yonder a maid and her wight<br>Come whispering by:<br>War's annals will cloud into night<br>Ere their story die.</p

“The stream flows,
The wind blows,
The cloud fleets,
The heart beats,
Nothing will die.”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892) British poet laureate
Nothing Will Die (1830)
Context: When will the stream be aweary of flowing
Under my eye?
When will the wind be aweary of blowing
Over the sky?
When will the clouds be aweary of fleeting?
When will the heart be aweary of beating?
And nature die?
Never, oh! never, nothing will die;
The stream flows,
The wind blows,
The cloud fleets,
The heart beats,
Nothing will die.
