ETERNITY

Portrait of Robert Herrick
Robert Herrick 1591–1674

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.
