Walter De La Mare - Fare Well (Need help with a segment)?

What does this segment literally mean?

Look thy last on all things lovely,

Every hour. Let no night

Seal thy sense in deathly slumber

Till to delight

Thou have paid thy utmost blessing;

Since that all things thou wouldst praise

Beauty took from those who loved them

In other days.

    Paraphrase/summary of 'Farewell'

    This poem highlights the predicament of man's short life. The poet says that after his death he will be free from all sorts of sorrows of life. Each and every memory regarding the beauty of the world will fade.

    He is of the view that when his mortal flesh which is actually made of dust will be buried, no trace of his will be left. The people who love one another will remain a source of happiness for themselves.
