• 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 today;
  Woo it and teach it to obey
  Your wish and will. Since time began
  Today has been the friend of man.
  But in his blindness and his sorrow
  He looks to yesterday and tomorrow.
