159

Though of a hundred thousand years
So many were, and doubled yet,
As moments have flowed past
Since the sun with fiery steeds
Runs its course on the firmament:
Yet would it still have an end.
But what number will you then choose
To count the days of eternity?
Seek the outlet, you will not find it,
And whoever hopes for it, to him it comes not.

* *
*

Blessed is he who in the infinite
Finds eternal rest and joy!

G. Sch.
