Make This a Day.
Make this n day. There Is no gain
in brooding over days to come;
The message of today Is plain.
The future lips are ever dumb—
The work of yesterday Is gone—
For gistd or ill, let come what

But now we face another
dawn:
Make this a day. '
Though yesterday we failed to
see
The urging hand and earnest
face
That men call Opportunity,
We fnlled to know the time or

For some good deed, what need
we fret?
Tlie dawn comes up a silvery

The golden moments must be
