Three Eternities

Lo, thou and I, my love, And the sad stars above,-- Thou and I, I and thou! Ah could we lie as now Ever and aye, my love, Hand within hand, my love, Heart within heart, my dove, Through night and day For ever!

Lo, thou and I, my love, Up in the sky above, Where the sun makes his home And the gods are, my love, One day may wander from Star unto star, my love,-- Soul within soul, my love, Yonder afar For ever!

Lo, thou and I, my love, Some time shall lie, my love, Knowing not night from day, Knowing not toil from rest,-- Breast unto breast, my love, Even as now for aye: Clay within clay, my love, Clay within clay For ever!
