I think Shakespeare meant as long as you are breathing you have a right to live and nobody can put a barrier upon your discovery. For the eyes, I think he meant if you have eyes you have the right to discover and learn to understand the world.

Emerson Adams · Answer 2

The poem lives as long as people are alive to read the words. The speaker's beloved lives forever in the lines of the poem.
