My friend, let's not think of tomorrow, but let's enjoy this fleeting moment of life.
Drink! for you know not whence you came nor why: drink! for you know not why you go, nor where.
I sent my soul through the invisible,some letter of that afterlife to spell;and by and by my soul returned to me,and answered, "I myself am Heav'n and Hell".
The thoughtful soul to solitude retires.
Ah make the most of what yet we may spend,Before we too into dust descend.
When I want to understand what is happening today or try to decide what will happen tomorrow, I look back.
Living Life Tomorrow's fate, though thou be wise, Thou canst not tell nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not today in vain, For it will never come again.
Oh, the brave music of a distant drum!
