For men may come and men may go, / But I go on for ever.
From “The Brook,” a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson. It means that humans are mortal but nature is eternal.
The quote makes me think of some pleasantly silly (and slightly vulgar) lyrics from a song in Mel Brooks’s Blazing Saddles: “[Men are] always coming and going, going and coming…”

Answer:
The lines “For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever” have been repeated in the poem several times in order to lay emphasis on the brook being immortal. It is ironical that man is so arrogant though he is merely a mortal.
