[Verse1]
Who will believe my verse in time to come
If it were filled with your most high deserts
Though yet it is
But as a tomb which hides your life and shows not
Half your parts
[Verse 2]
If I could write the beauty of your eyes
And in my verses number all your grace
The age to come would say this poet lies
Such a beauty never touched an earthly face
[Chorus]
I'm eternally yours
Eternally yours
Dying with my time
Forever in my song
Eternally yours
Etеrnally yours
Eternally yours
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
So if my papers yellowеd with their age
Be scorned like old men of less truth than tongue
And your true rights be termed a poet's rage
In the stretched metre of an antique song
[Verse 4]
But were some child of yours alive that time
You should live twice in it and in my rhyme
A woman's face by nature's own hand drawn
The master-mistress of my fervidness
[Chorus]
I'm eternally yours
Eternally yours
Dying with my time
Forever in my song
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
As an unperfect actor on the stage
Or some fierce beast replete with too much rage
So I, for fear of trust
Forget to say the perfect ceremony of love's rite
[Verse 6]
Looking at darkness as blind people do
Only my soul's imaginary sight
Presents your shadow to my sightless view
Just like a jewel hung in blackest night
[Chorus]
I'm eternally yours
Eternally yours
Dying with my time
Forever in my song
Eternally yours
Eternally yours
Eternally yours
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 7]
My mirror won't persuade me I am old
As long as youth and you are of one date
But when in you time's furrows I behold
Then it is time to anticipate death
[Verse 8]
For all that beauty that does cover you
Is but the seemly raiment of my heart
Which in your breast does live as yours in me
How can I then be older than you are
[Outro]
I'm eternally yours
Dying with my time
Forever in my song
