O thou Tomorrow! Mystery! O day that ever runs before! What hath thine hidden hand in store For mine, Tomorrow, and for me? O thou Tomorrow! what hast thou In store to make me bear the Now? O day in which we shall forget The tangled troubles of today! O day that laughs at duns, at debt! O day of promises to pay! O shelter from all present storm! O day in which we shall reform! O day of all days to reform! Convenient day of promises! Hold back the shadow of the storm. Let not thy mystery be less, O bless'd Tomorrow! chiefest friend, But lead us blindfold to the end. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LONDON SNOW by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES AT CASTERBRIDGE FAIR: 4.
