To-Morrow




I DREAM of to-morrow, which to-morrow
     Will be as distant then as ’tis to-day;
For Phœbus, who oft teases man with sorrow,
     Will never turn his car to light my way.
     So that I’m certain now that morning’s ray
Will never dawn; and, Phyllis, thou mayst borrow
Some other phrase from language for to-morrow,
     And to-morrow, and to-morrow — but betray.
I called upon Dan Cupid (when I find
     Sweet company I never walk alone),
And said, “Come with me, an you are inclined;
     Let’s seek this maiden morrow, for I groan
Impatient.” Then I curse my eyes — they’re blind.
     Oh, no, I will not curse them — they’re my own.
