To-day

Here hath been dawning another blue day:

Think, wilt thou let it slip useless away?

Out of Eternity this new day was 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.
