Thomas Carlyle

Today

So here hath been dawning

Another blue day:

Think, wilt thou let it

Slip useless away?


Out of Eternity

This new day is born;

Into Eternity,

At night, will return.


Behold it aforetime

No eye ever did;

So soon it forever

From all eyes is hid.


Here hath been dawning

Another blue day;

Think, wilt thou let it

Slip useless away?
