Here and There.

M0131e GOSSIP
Here and There.
elizabeth Powers Merrill)
stars Of night are Just as golden l.a
Skies Of day are just as piue
As they were or ever will be
When the world IL old or new.
All the flowers Of the meadows
Bloom with fragrance Just as rare
As the past ones or midtown ones
Here is Here,
And There is There.
Other fruits will grow and ripen.
Other hands viii pluck and eat.
Other hearts will love and suffer.
Other souls know pain, defeat;
Other lips will chant new peans,
Other voices rise in prayer
But for you. o soul, the present.
Here Is Here,
And There Is There!
Though death bear away the hearts love
To a star men do not know,
Should they grope and pipe IN sorrow
Life has come. shall life not go!
Brew not in a witches cauldron
Wild regret or future care
God has written with His finger
Here is Here,
And There is There!
/ Work. Life's day is striding onward
! Love. And climb the steepest hill!
There will never be a morrow.
Today always, Today still.
Look not backward-loOk not forward,
Nobly each days burden bear
Give today its fullest measure
Here is Here,
And There is There!
