Description:
In his brief poem Eternitie, Robert Herrick (1591 1674) imagines the immense awe that accompanies leaving this world and entering the next. A hint of longing for what was in the opening words, 'O Yeares! and Age!' gives way to peace and acceptance with 'Farewell. ' The music slowly grows in intensity over a bass pedal point to the high pointof the piece: wonder and joy in the life of the world to come, being 'drown'd in one endlesse Day. ' Duration: 3:45
