TO-DAY

So here hath been dawning Another blue day; Think wilt thou let it Slip useless away? Out of eternity This new day is born, Into eternity, At night, will return. Behold it aforetime No eye ever did; So soon it forever From all eyes is hid! Here hath been dawning Another blue day; Think, wilt thou let it Slip useless away? —Thomas Carlyle.
