by Robert Herrick (1591 - 1674)
O Years! and age! farewell
Language: English
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.
