The salutation of Che DAWN.

Listen TO the exhortation of the
dawn!
Look to this dayl
For it Is life, the very life Of life
In It's brief course lie all the verities
And realities of your experience;
The glory of action.
The bliss OF growth,
The splendor of beauty;
For yesterday is but dream,
And tomorrow is only vision:
But today, well lived, makes
Everything dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow vision Of
hope
Look well therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation Of the dawn!
From the Sanskrit.
