Poem about the cycle of life?

-I need another poem with the theme of the cycle of life that's somewhat easy to analyze for an essay. I've already used "The Little Boy and the Old Man" by Shel Silverstein and "anyone lived in a pretty how town" by ee cummings and need one more. Can be a song, too! PLEASE help! Thanks!Shakespeare's Sonnet #12:



When I do count the clock that tells the time,

And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;

When I behold the violet past prime,

And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white;

When lofty trees I see barren of leaves

Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,

And summer's green all girded up in sheaves

Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,

Then of thy beauty do I question make,

That thou among the wastes of time must go,

Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake

And die as fast as they see others grow;

And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence

Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.



He basically says that when he sees the things around him get old and die, it reminds him that people get old and die. It reminds him that the person he is writing the poem to will get old and die. Then he suggest that one can defend oneself from death, and one's own youth from wilting, by having children.
(Eternal Life In Christ)

I saw the end of life in time and there i was no more, from death to life, i live again, this i know for sure. I shall not return to earth and live death again, for the light has taken me far beyond the time time that always ends.
