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!
How long art thou, Eternity!
As in a ball’s concentric round
Nor starting-point nor end is found,
So thou, Eternity, so vast,
