TO-DAY, by                    
First Line: To-day my thoughts / are swift and cool
Last Line: But oh, to-day!


To-day my thoughts
Are swift and cool
As goldfish in
A lily pool.

To-morrow, like as not,
They'll be
Brown turtles blinking
Hard at me.

And I shall be
As dull as they
And blink back, too.
But oh, to-day!
