DROPS OF ETERNITY.
Out of eternity's oceanThe days fall steadily, slowly:
Drop by drop do they ooze through thee,
As through the rock roof of the cave
Falls the slow water:
What will they leave behind them
Having absorbed it of thee,
Ere they sink to forgotten abysses?
Slime to be foul in darkness or light?
Or deeds, that, as clear rock-crystal,
Seen or unseen shall be strong to abide,
And to shine, whensoever upon them
Light of remembrance shall fall?
