An Eternity

By Archibald MacLeish

There is no dusk to be,

There is no dawn that was,

Only there's now, and now,

And the wind in the grass.

Days I remember of

Now in my heart, are now;

Days that I dream will bloom

White the peach bough.

Dying shall never be

Now in the windy grass;

Now under shooken leaves

Death never was.
