t"'" (1 'ETERNITY.
Eternity, who art•thou? my poor mind
Ranges in vaitithro' regions of deep thought,
To 'seek a fitting semblance of thee !--nought
Can I collect !--'tis vain ! I cannot find •
Ideas with which I might thine image bind.
'What are the ages that old Time bath brought,
Compar'd with thee ? the fame of battles fought,
Tho' living as the world ?—a gust of wind,
That sweeps along, and then is heard no more.
And what is btiasted Time itself to thee ?
A flame that. for a moment bright will soar,
Leaving deep gloom through which no eye can set.
Or 'tie a wave that ripples to the shore,
And dies upon thy rock, Eternity !
