Eternity! Thy time is young <br />Alike the kiss of serpent tongue <br />Your mother’s sleeping by the bay <br />Adorned in the last light of the day. <br />A lonely Oak hath fallen near <br />A nearby Satyr sheds a tear <br />Still he laughs on through the year <br />For he knows that death is life anew. <br /> <br />Through clouds of dank obscurity <br />The nature of reality <br />Is known to die and then to be <br />A circle of eternity <br /> <br />Love! For thy time is young <br />Love beneath a golden sun <br />Bless the meadows, blessed be <br />That I should find my love in thee <br />O maiden fair, O maiden dear <br />Hear my heart, my heart is clear <br />Through mists of dank obscurity <br />I adorn my love in clarity. <br />Beatific visions at first surreal <br />Reveal to me the way I feel <br />Turn within eternity <br />Turn within the wheel.<br /><br />David Lacey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eternity-thy-time-is-young/
