Thomas Carlyle

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;
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.
