Plan for Tomorrow

Tomorrow is a special day...Because it is unspent...And
so it offers all its time...For us to be content...It has not even
made a start... And therefore it is free... For us to use in any
way... to keep us company... We may devote its hours to
...A very worthy cause... Or figure every minute as... An-
other chance to pause... In any case we ought to stop... And
think of it today... and try to measure out our work... With
time enough to play... We ought to make a schedule for...
Our labor and our rest... So every second will be one... In
which we do our best.
