All Things will Die
Clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing
Under my eye;
Warmly and broadly the south winds are blowing
Over the sky.
One after another the white clouds are fleeting;
Every heart this May morning in joyance is beating
Full merrily;
Yet all things must die.
The stream will cease to flow;
The wind will cease to blow;
The clouds will cease to fleet;
The heart will cease to beat;
For all things must die.
All things must die.
Spring will come never more.
O, vanity!
Death waits at the door.
See! our friends are all forsaking
The wine and the merrymaking.
We are call'd-we must go.
Laid low, very low,
In the dark we must lie.
The merry glees are still;
The voice of the bird
Shall no more be heard,
Nor the wind on the hill.
O, misery!
Hark! death is calling
While I speak to ye,
The jaw is falling,
The red cheek paling,
The strong limbs failing;
Ice with the warm blood mixing;
The eyeballs fixing.
Nine times goes the passing bell:
Ye merry souls, farewell.
The old earth
Had a birth,
As all men know,
Long ago.
And the old earth must die.
So let the warm winds range,
And the blue wave beat the shore;
For even and morn
Ye will never see
Thro' eternity.
All things were born.
Ye will come never more,
For all things must die.
== Location ==
The journal is found near a chest just before the final room of Kinolangdanzel Depths.
== Background and Inspiration ==
The poem is by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. 
All Things Will Die was added after the original implementation of Kinolangdanzel. Its purpose is to firmly establish the milieu of Relics of Hyrule, and the fate of Hyrule itself, as Kinolangdanzel is often the first major dungeon players visit. The lines "O Misery!", "Ice with the warm blood mixing","And the old earth must die" were primary influences to include the poem, as they serve to reference a portion of the Ruptured Towers, the final boss of Kinolangdanzel, and a recurring theme in Relics of Hyrule of inevitable demise followed by renewal.
