VIOLIN SONGS: TO-MORROW by GEORGE MACDONALD

Poet Analysis

First Line: MY TO-MORROW IS BUT A FLITTING
Last Line: FOR GOD IS IN THEE NOW.

MY TO-MORROW is but a flitting
Fancy of the brain;
God's TO-MORROW an angel sitting,
Ready for joy or pain.

My TO-MORROW has no soul,
Dead as yesterdays;
God's—a brimming silver bowl
Of life that gleams and plays.

My TO-MORROW, I mock you away!
Shadowless nothing, thou!
God's TO-MORROW, come, dear day,
For God is in thee now.
