The Good New Days

Nine but the futile mourn the past:
Or waste their hours in vain berat-
ing;
Each day is richer than the last;
There are new worlds to conquer
waiting.
Though somber sunsets lend man
Regret to pleasant days gone from
us.
The pilgrim stars go wheeling on.
And dawns bring new demesncs of
promise.
The path that Yesterday we trod
Was bright with blossom, sweet with
clover:
Yet there must he a richer sod
hVhere the horizon trail dips over.
Onward and upward, mile on mile;
Deaf to the jibes, the mocker's cho-
rus;
Facing each hazard with a smile
Till a new world lies wide before us!
There is no going back. Why bind
Your swift pace with fantom
FORGET the good old days behind.
Go on-and make the new ones
better,
