TIME A MONITOR

Mary Lowe Dickinson tells what we would do if we had only a day to live.

We should fill the hours with the sweetest things,

If we had but a day;

We should drink alone at the purest springs

In our upward way;

We should love with a lifetime’s love in an hour,

If our hours were few;

We should rest, not for dreams, but for fresher power
