This was sent to me recently. I had not seen it for many years and I'm not sure that the school kids of today will have to memorize it as I and others of my generation did -
Today
So here hath been dawning
Another blue day:
Think, wilt thou let it
Slip useless away?
Out of Eternity
This new day is born:
In to 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
