Look to this day!

For it is life,

The very life of life

In its brief course,

Lie all the verities

Of our existence:

The bliss of growth,

The glory of action,

The splendor of beauty;

For yesterday is only memory,

And tomorrow is only a vision:

But today well lived makes

Every yesterday a memory of happiness,

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well therefore, to this day!

Such is the salutation to the dawn.
