Weep Not To-dayRobert Bridges (18441930)
W
Learn in present fears
To o’ermaster those tears
That unhinder’d conquer thee.
Up, sad heart, nor faint
In ungracious complaint,
Or a prayer for better days.
Draweth surely nigh,
When good-night is good-bye;
For the sleeping shall not cease.
Deem, nor strange thy doom.
Like this sorrow ’twill come,
And the day will be to-day.
