TO-MORROW. LOVE,
BY CHARLES MACKAY,
If Fortune with a smiling face
Strow roses on our way,
When shall we stoop to pick them up?
To-day, my love, to-day!
But should she frown with face of care
And talk of coming sorrow,
When shall we grieve, if grieve we must?
To-morrow, love, to-morrow!
If those who've wronged us own their faulty
And kindly pity pray,
When shall we listen and forgive?
To-day, my love, to-day!
But if stern justice urge rebuke,
And warmth from mem'ry borrow,
When shall we chide, if chide we must?
To-morrow, love, to-morrow!
