Salutation to the Dawn
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
lie all the truths and realities of our existence:
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendour of achievement,
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived makes yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is our greeting to the dawn.
