How long art thou, Eternity!
Came there a bird each thousandth year,
One sand-grain from the hills to bear,
When all had vanish’d, grain by grain,
Eternity would still remain:
Mark well, O Man, Eternity!
Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
As long as God shall God remain,
So long shall last hell’s torturing pain,
