Excerpt from book: THE DAY BEYOND When youth is with us, all things seem But lightly to be wished and won; We snare to-morrow in a dream. And take our toll for work undone; " For life is long and time a stream That sleeps and sparkles in the sun? What need of any haste ? " we say, " To-morrow's longer than to-day."

Silent afar is yesterday's noon, And the city forgets its sorrow and strife: Oh, weary eyes and hearts that ache, Sleep !?it is better to sleep than wake. Here, where all day the air was loud With a rattle of carts and jingle of cars And the murmur and laughter and tread of the crowd, Are only the ruts that the wheels have ploughed, And rails that gleam with a glint of the stars', And dreaming streets that the crowd forsake: Sleep !?it is better to sleep than wake. Toil and care to the day belong; To-morrow their tears shall fall again, But now for a little the weak are strong; Sleep knows nothing of right or wrong, To-night feels naught of to-morrow's pain. Sleep has a cup all thirst to slake: Sleep !?it is better to sleep tha...
