ETERNITIE
by: Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
 YEARES!
and Age! Farewell
- Behold I go,
- Where I do know
- Infinitie to dwell.
-
- And these mine eyes shall see
- All times, how they
- Are lost i’ th’ Sea
- Of vast Eternitie.
-
- Where never Moone shall sway
- The Starres; but she,
- And Night, shall be
- Drown’d in one endlesse Day.
