A Selection from the Lyrical Poems of Robert Herrick






260. ETERNITY

     O years!  and age!  farewell:
     Behold I go,
     Where I do know
     Infinity to dwell.

     And these mine eyes shall see
     All times, how they
     Are lost i' th' sea
     Of vast eternity:—

     Where never moon shall sway
     The stars; but she,
     And night, shall be
     Drown'd in one endless day.
