Time & Brevity
To-Morrow
From Complete Poetical Works, Oxford ed. Hutchinson (1914)
Time & Brevity
Where art thou, beloved To-morrow?
When young and old, and strong and weak,
Rich and poor, through joy and sorrow,
Thy sweet smiles we ever seek,—
In thy place—ah! well-a-day!
We find the thing we fled—To-day.
