Gayly she waved her little hand gSyiy ne
barred his head.
sYoull come tomorrow, then" and the
man on his errand went,
With tender prayer on heart and iip'yet
on his work intent.
The woman moment fingered "would
he turn for a parting look :"
Then with half smile and half sigh,
her household burden took.
"Youll come tomorrow, them and when
the MORROW broke,
Pale lips in the crowded city, Of the rail
way accident" spoke
A strong man in a strangers home, in
deaths dread quiet lay,
And woman sobbed full heart out in
cottage a mile away.
So lightly our thoughts leap onward, 80
lightly we hope and plan,
While Fate waits grimly by and smiles, to
watch her playtbing-man-
Discounting the dim strange future, while
his blind eyes cannot see,
What single flying hour brings; where
the next step may be.
And love floats laughing onward, and at
his side glides sorrow,
Whilem arO nen bet' cen them walk
and say, "Well meet tomorrow
Ill the Year Round.
