Eternity

He who bends to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sunrise

William Blake

It is not while beauty and youth are thine own, And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear That the fervour and faith of a soul can be known, To which time will but make thee more dear, No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close, As the sunflower turns to her god, when he sets, The same look which she turned when he rose. by Thomas Moore 1779-1852 Here is one of my favorites:

Believe me if all those endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms
Like fairy-gifts fading away,
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will,
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart,
Would entwine itself verdantly still.
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear
That the fervour and faith of a soul can be known,
To which time will but make thee more dear,
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close,
As the sunflower turns to her god, when he sets,
The same look which she turned when he rose.
by Thomas Moore 1779-1852
