SALUTATION TO THE DAWN
Look to this day,
For it is life,
The very life of life.
In its brief course lie all
The verities and realities
Of your existence;
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendor of beauty.
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is but a vision.
But today, well lived, makes every
Yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow
A vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation to the dawn.
