Today
So here hath been dawning
Another blue Day:
Think wilt thou let it
Slip useless away.
Out of Eternity
This new Day is born;
Into Eternity,
At night, will return.
Behold it aforetime
No eye ever did:
So soon it forever
From all eyes is hid.
Here hath been dawning
Another blue Day:
Think wilt thou let it
Slip useless away.
Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.

very controversial and enigmatic character, and his reputation ranges widely
from cranky, argumentative, and radical to moral, sage, and conservative. His
