fancy rule

Don’t tell me of to-morrow,There is much to do to-day,That can never be accomplished,If we throw the hours away.Every moment has its duty—Who the future can foretell?Then why put off till to-morrow,What to-day can do as well?

Don’t tell me of to-morrow,There is much to do to-day,That can never be accomplished,If we throw the hours away.Every moment has its duty—Who the future can foretell?Then why put off till to-morrow,What to-day can do as well?

Don’t tell me of to-morrow,

There is much to do to-day,

That can never be accomplished,

If we throw the hours away.

Every moment has its duty—

Who the future can foretell?

Then why put off till to-morrow,

What to-day can do as well?
