Our yesterday's to-morrow now is gone,
And still a new to-morrow does come on.

Till the exhausted well can yield no more.

To-morrow is that lamp upon the marsh, which a traveller never reacheth;
To-morrow, the rainbow's cup, coveted prize of ignorance;
To-morrow, the shifting anchorage, dangerous trust of manners;
To-morrow, the wrecker's beacon, wily snare of the destroyer.

Frighten resolutions into action, To-morrow is a wholesome truth.
