With every rising of the sun
Think of your life as just begun.
The past has shrived and buried deep
All yesterdays - there let them sleep,
Nor seek to summon back one ghost
Of that innumerable host.
Concern yourself with but to-day;
Woo it and teach it to obey
Your wish and will. Since time began
To-day has been the friend of man.
But in his blindness and his sorrow
He looks to yesterday and to-morrow.
You and to-day! a soul sublime
And the great pregnant hour of time.
With God between to bind the train,
Go forth, I say - attain - attain.
You And To-day
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
