XIV. This Is Thy Hour
Eternity
By 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        5
            All times, how they
            Are lost i’ th’ sea
Of vast Eternity.
 
Where never Moon shall sway
            The stars; but she        10
            And Night, shall be
Drown’d in one endless Day.
