Living

Wednesday

by Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1850–1919

From Maurine and Other Poems (1888)

Living

Half-way unto the end--the week's high noon.
The morning hours do speed away so soon!
And, when the noon is reached, however bright,
Instinctively we look toward the night.
The glow is lost
Once the meridian crost.
