TO-MORROW
Reading edition
Nunc vino pellite curas,
Cras ingens iterabimus aequor.
Now drive away your cares with wine
To-morrow on the sea we go.
To-night for us the tapers shine,
To-night the roses blow;
To-morrow shall our steps incline
Where the wild waters flow.
To-morrow! Let to-morrow be
Where all this world's to-morrows are
Where each must follow faithfully
The guiding of his star.
The moment that is given me
Is mine to make or mar.
Drink to me only with your eyes,
And I with mine will pay the debt;
Drink to my moment ere it dies
Divine and fragrant yet:
To each to-night its melodies!
To-morrow to forget!
