TO-DAY.

Is not this day enough for all our
powers,
If its exactions we're but fairly
met
If not one unpaid debt
Were left to haunt the peace of future
hours,
And sting us with regret?
Unbounded blessing lieth in Today.
If we but seek we find it hidden
there;
It is the golden stair,
Leading, it may be, by an unknown
way
To all we hope or dare.
From sun to sun let us this lesson learn:
Upon Today our fairest chances
wait.
And, whether soon or late,
Our destiny upon its hinge may turn
Today, sweet friends. is Fate.
