[Eternity.][1]
One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2 St. Peter, iii. 8.
Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
Yet onward still to thee we speed,
As to the fight th’ impatient steed,
As ship to port, or shaft from bow,
Or swift as couriers homeward go:
Mark well, O Man, Eternity!
Eternity! Eternity!
