VERSES
“NOW.” [Ella Wheeler Wilcox.] One looks behind him to some vanished time And says, “Ah, I was happy then, alack I I did not know it was my life’s best prime— Oh, if I coitid go back I” Another looks, with eager eyes aglow. To some glad day of joy that yet will dawn, And sighs, “I shall be happy then, I know. Oh, let me hurry on.” But I—l look out on my fair To-day; I clasp it close and kiss its radiant brow, Here with the perfect present let me stay, For I am happy now!
