TO-MORROW.
Let to-morrow take care of to-morrow, Leave things of the future to fate ; What’s the use to anticipate sorrow ? Life’s troubles come never ton late. If to hope over much be an error, ’Tie one the wise have ever preferred; And how often have hearts been in tenor Of evils—that never occurred! Have faith, and thy faith shall sustain thee; Permit not suspicion and care. With invisible bonds to enchain thee But bear what Gol gives thee to bear; By His Spirit supported and gladdened, Be ne’er by “ forebodings ” deterred; Bnt think how oft hearts have been saddened By fear of—what never occurred! Let to-morrow take care of to-morrow; Short and dark aa our life may appear, We may make it still darker by sorrow— Still shorter by sorrow and fear 1 Half our troubles are half our invention, And often from blessings conferred, Hava we shrunk in the wild apprehension Of ante—that never occurred 1 O. Swain.
