First Line: Me, in the midst of dateless centuries
Last Line: Eternity.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Life
Me, in the midst of dateless centuries,
By love concealed,
Now, newly swathed in mortal destinies,
Hath time revealed.
A breathing space, a silence, and behold
What I have been,
Unswathed, the circling centuries enfold,
Again unseen.
With days and nights brief fellowship was mine;
But unto thee
I come, a child inseparably thine,
Eternity.
