Like a sphare, round on every side,
But have neither begining nor end!
This is as eternity
A wheel which is always revolving;
And into all ages and periods rolling:
This is as eternity!
A year that keep recurring, where it dies
There it is reborn and again commences:
This is as eternity!
Ever-flowing and ever-gushing fountain,
Of which water finds it way to it again:
This is as eternity!
An abyss of many spirals and windings;
A boundless expance, with sprial curvings:
This is as eternity!
A duration ever present; a pepetual today,
Neither the past nor future has a stay:
This is like eternity!
An age of ages, undying and immortal day;
Maintaining itself in one and the same way:
This is as eternity!
A begining without a begining, a middle,
Nor end; always starting, ever interminable:
This is as eternity!
A state of continual joy for the blessed;
Hipping of gifts upon the alredy-blessed:
This is as eternity!
The renewal of mortal blows on the cursed,
A pepetual and daily death of the unjust:
This is as eternity!
'Oh! Oh! We are tormented in this flame!'
This'll be the lost's eternal song and theme:
Go to now, prepare for eternity!
Oh come, thou perpetual delightful day:
Spirit divine, set my love on the right way
That leads to that day of unmixed felicty!
Amen!
