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." And when to-morrow shall destroy
The heaven of our dreams, in vain Our hurrying manhood we employ To
build the vanished bliss again; We have no leisure to enjoy, " So
few the years that yet remain, So much to do, and ah !" we say, "
To-morrow's shorter than to-day." But when our hands are worn and
weak, And still our labours seem unblest, And time goes past us
like a bleak Last twilight waning to the west, " It is not here?the
bliss we seek, Too brief is life for happy rest; What need of any
haste ? " we say, " To-morrow's longer than to-day." THE CITY
ASLEEP Darkly, under a drifting moon, The streets lie empty of
sound and life; Dawn of to-morrow come not soon ! 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...
