| Songs from Dramas. IV. Tell Me Not of Morrows, Sweet |
| | | Augusta Webster (1840–94) |
| |
| |
| TELL me not of morrows, sweet; | |
| All to-day is fair, and ours, | |
| Thine and mine; | |
| Mar not Now with needing more. | |
| Neither speak of yesterdays; | 5 |
| Lose not Now with backward gaze, | |
| Lingering on what went before. | |
| Watch for all to-day’s new flowers, | |
| Mine and thine, | |
| Else to-day were incomplete. | 10 |
| |
| Nay, but speak of morrows, sweet; | |
| Lest to-day seem loss of ours, | |
| Thine and mine, | |
| Leaving nought to come again. | |
| Nay, but speak of yesterdays, | 15 |
| Lest, forgetting trodden ways, | |
| We have trodden them in vain. | |
| Make one love-time of all hours, | |
| Mine and thine, | |
| Else to-day were incomplete. | 20 |
