To-day is ours; we have it here. Let's treat it kindly, that it may Wish, at least, with us to stay. Let's banish business, banish sorrow; To the gods belong to-morrow. - Abraham Cowley, Anacreontique--The Epicure (l. 7) Days that need borrow No part of their good morrow, From a fore-spent night of sorrow. - Richard Crashaw, Wishes to his (Supposed) Mistress (st. 27) What dost thou bring to me, O fair To-day, That comest o'er the mountains with swift feet? - Julia Caroline Ripley Dorr, To-Day Happy the man, and happy he alone, He, who can call to-day his own: He who, secure within, can say, Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have liv'd today. - John Dryden, Imitation of Horace (bk.

There are no swallows anywhere, Nor crocuses to crown your hair And hail you down my garden way. Last night the full moon's frozen stare Struck me, perhaps; or did you say Really--you'd come, sweet Friend and fair! - Theophile Julius Henry Marzials, Rondel Oh, the nursery is lonely and the garden's full of rain, And there's nobody at all who wants to play, But I think if I should only run with all my might and main, I could leave this dreary country of To-day. - Caroline McCormick, Road to Yesterday Rise! for the day is passing, And you lie dreaming on; The others have buckled their armour, And forth to the fight have gone: A place in the ranks awaits you, Each man has some part to play; The Past and the Future are nothing, In the face of the stern To-day. - Adelaide Anne Procter, Legends and Lyrics Today is the last day of an era past. - Boris Yeltsin
