Delay

by Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

No generous action can delay
Or thwart our higher, steadier aims,
But if sincere and true are they,
It will arouse our sight and nerve our frames.

    The Voice of the Dove
    by Joaquin Miller
    COME listen, O Love, to the voice of the dove, Come, hearken and hear him say, There are many To-morrows, my Love, my Love,— There is only one To-day.
