Religion
The Law Of The Present, Obey
From Songs for All Seasons, and Other Poems (1901)
Religion
The law of the present obey,
To-morrow every one knows
Before we can catch it goes;
Nothing compares with to-day,
Strive as we may.
Be hopeful, and happy and brave,
Whatever the moments may bring;
When given to sighing, sing,
Wait not for life boat to save,
Walk on the wave.
