Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Элла Уилкокс)

You and To-Day

With every rising of the sun
Think of your life as just begun.

The past has shrived and buried deep
All yesterdays-there let them sleep,

Nor seek to summon back one ghost
Of that innumerable host.

Concern yourself with but to-day;
Woo it and teach it to obey

Your wish and will. Since time began
To-day has been the friend of man.

But in his blindness and his sorrow
He looks to yesterday and to-morrow.

You and to-day! a soul sublime
And the great pregnant hour of time.

With God between to bind the train,
Go forth, I say-attain-attain.

4. Sonnets of Sorrow. 14. Full many a roadway that we trod was rough
5. Sonnets of Sorrow. 20. There always was a longing in your heart
