TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW.

Don't tell me of to-morrow! Give me the man who'll say, That when a good deed's to be done Let's do the deed to-day. We may all command the present, If we act and never wait; But repentance is the phantom Of the past, that comes too late.
Don't tell me of to-morrow! There is much to do to-day That can never be accomplished If we throw the hours away. Every moment has its duty— Who the future can foretell? Then why put off till to-morrow What to-day can do as well?
Don't tell me of to-morrow! If we look upon the past, How much that we have left to do We cannot do at last? To-day! it is the only time For all on this frail earth; It takes an age to form a life, A moment gives it birth.—Sel.
