THREE DAYS, by                    
First Line: So much to do: so little done!
Last Line: Will end in that great, glad to-morrow.
Alternate Author Name(s): Kirke, Edmund
Subject(s): Hope; Time; Optimism


So much to do: so little done!
Ah! yesternight I saw the sun
Sink beamless down the vaulted gray, --
The ghastly ghost of YESTERDAY.
So little done: so much to do!
Each morning breaks on conflicts new;
But eager, brave, I'll join the fray,
And fight the battle of TO-DAY.
So much to do: so little done!
But when it's o'er, -- the victory won, --
Oh! then, my soul, this strife and sorrow
Will end in that great, glad TO-MORROW.
