LIFE (1) by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: ME, IN THE MIDST OF DATELESS CENTURIES
Last Line: ETERNITY.
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.
