“ CARPE DIEM..."
To-day is.ours! Whate'er Tomorrow bring Of sweet or bitter for the harvesting, Ijq t us bo glad to-day, and gladly bear Full store of flower and fruit, of a.Q things fair, — ; Meet to adorn the sovereign Shrine o t Spring., Too soon tho rose will fade, and youth take wing! Let ns be glad! nor heed the reckoning For all the year’s sweet secrets that wo share. — To-day is onrs! And though Hope . fade in autumn** withering. Life will yet leave us ono unbroken string,— Rich in old memories of days that were. Old dreams too dear to die; then need we care How sad a song the still To-montmtt sing?— To-day is ours! —H. Goo. Hart.
