By Robert Herrick (1591–1674)Eternity
| 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. | |
