Eternity

Listen in the reader

He who bends to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sunrise.

Eternity

He who binds to himself [to a del.] joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who [just del.] kisses the joy as it flies Lives in [an eternal del.] eternity's sun rise.

Eternity

He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise
