Theodore Tilton, an American poet and newspaper editor, lived from 1835 –1907. Tilton is famous for a poem he wrote at the age of 23, called “The King’s Ring.” It includes the line, “Even this shall pass away” at the end of each of its seven stanzas. The following poem follows his rhyme scheme and focuses on some uses of the phrase “It is written” in the New Testament.
