TO-DAY

By Amelia Robbins

The sun breaks forth in all his morning's splendor, To-day sweeps into view with regal state; It swingeth open an inviting door To those who toil in hope, or, patient, wait For what to-day may offer, worth the while.
What tribute have we at its feet to lay, Which may induce to-day to sweetly smile Upon us in the very happiest way, Approvingly of deeds of yesterday?
What gleaned we, when we crossed the ripened field Of opportunity, which to-day might yield Fruitage of joy, within our hearts to sing?
Upon the silent wheel of yesterday Was spun the thread which Destiny doth weave Into a web of happiness or woe.
Let no illusions fond our souls deceive! If Wisdom leads us in her way, we know Peace shall await us with each new to-day: —Amelia Robbins.
