Behold, above the hidden root,
How white the bloom, how black the fruit!
Of Time, forever out of sight,
How bright the day, how dark the night!

    the first two lines gave me the image of a flower blossoming and also appearing to have its seed shown (the fruit). and the second two lines give me the image of it living in both night and day.

    that's basically all I got. it's timeless in its own guise.
