- I am the beginning of eternity,
The end of time and space;
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place!
Who am I? - A word of one syllable, easy and short,
Which reads backwards and forwards the same;
It expresses the sentiments warm from the heart,
And to beauty lays principal claim. - Soon as I’m made I’m sought with care;
For one whole year consulted;
After that, I am thrown aside,
Neglected, and insulted! - I am found in loss, but not in gain,
If you search there, it will be in vain;
I am found in hour, but not in day;
What I am, perhaps, you now can say. - Ever eating, never cloying,
All devouring, all-destroying,
Never finding full repast,
'Till I eat the world at last.
