Julia Caroline Ripley Dorr - To-morrow II lyrics

Then, if I fear not thee, thou veiléd One, Whose face I know not, why fear I to meet Beyond the everlasting hills her feet Who cometh when all Yesterdays are done? Shall I, who have proved thee good, thy sister shun? O thou To-morrow, who dost feel the beat Of life's long, rhythmic pulses, strong and sweet, In the far realm that hath no need of sun-- Thou who art fairer than the fair To-day That I have held so dear, and loved so much-- When, slow descending from the hills divine, Thou summonest me to join thee on thy way, Let me not shrink nor tremble at thy touch, Nor fear to break thy bread and drink thy wine!
