LIVE BY THE DAY.

163

For just within sight is that dwelling of bliss,
Where they think with a smile on the trials of this.
Live by the day.

Live by the day—life is passing away,
How quick chase each other December and May;
Thus blighting and gloom, yield to beauty and bloom—
The glad morn of heaven for the night of the tomb.
Live by the day.
