To-day

By Harriet Prescott Spofford

UPON John Ruskin’s writing-desk A slab of chalcedony lay, And on it, cut in careful script, The word “To-day.”
Honored of all, a wondrous man, And held a prophet in his way, He let “To-morrow” bide its time, And used “To-day.”
Upon the tablet of the will How good to write the selfsame way, Putting to-morrow’s uses by, The word “To-day!”
— Harriet Prescott Spofford.
