Explore "Life's Car" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
‘Hurry up! ' / No lingering by old doors of doubt- / No loitering by the way, / No waiting a To-morrow car, / When you can board To-day. / Success is somewhere down the track; / Before the chance is gone / Accelerate your laggard pace, / Swing on, I say, swing on- / Hurry up!
‘Step lively! ' / Belated souls are following fast, / They shout and signal, ‘Wait. ' / Conductor Time brooks no delay, / He rings the bell of Fate. / But you can give the man behind, / With one hand on the bar, / A final chance to brook defeat, / And board the moving car. / Step lively!
