Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
Such a Way as gives us breath:
Such a Truth as ends of strife:
Such a Life as killeth death.
Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength:
Such a Light, as shows a feast:
Such a Feast, as mends in length:
Such a Strenght, as makes his quest.
Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:
Such a Joy, as none can move:
Such a Love, as none can part:

Selected
s'étirer
puisque mend signifie renforcer, racommoder, je pense aussi qu'ici le sens est de traîner, de s'étirer en longueur...
mais s'éterniser c'est bon aussi
ça dépend si le nombre de pieds doit être identique/semblable au texte original et du reste de la traduction

Note from asker:
| Hi DocteurPC, as I asked about the meaning of "as" in the poem (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/2106031), someone suggested something like "rassasier/revigorer pour longtemps" |
