Explore "Unto the Day --" by Ruth Collie on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Many things in this world are bad, no good looking the other way, / lots of things to make us sad -- but it's very fine to-day. Loads of / troubles come to us, you've had yours and I've had mine. We won't / brood and fret and fuss -- for to-day is very fine. Chilly when the / winter's here, and no leaf is on the bough. Let us sing a song of / cheer -- for it's very pleasant now. Life is often cruel, unkind. / Vainly seek we for the light. Gusts of passion fog the mind -- but, / just now, the sun shines bright. Let's not brood on grief that's / past, shadows fall but shadows lift. Only Love and Goodness / last -- let's enjoy to-day's good gift.
