Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

by Patience Worth

Patience Worth

I am a bridge between Tomorrow and Yesterday,
Yea, I am Today. Yesterday might not be
Without my coming, and Tomorrow
I shall become Yesterday;
Thereby am I Tomorrow and Yesterday.
Yesterday may never be without me,
And the abyss of all on-coming Time
Shall contain me.-I am Infinity!
I am a bridge between Yesterday and Tomorrow.
I am Today, and shall ride Eternity
With Yesterday tethered to my right hand,
And Tomorrow to my left. Yesterday's path
But reaches to the earth's rim.
Behold, Eternity is ever Tomorrow.
Tomorrow containeth all of Yesterday,
And the promise of Eternity;
Yesterday containeth but itself-
And the promise of Tomorrow.
Yesterday belongeth to Earth,
Tomorrow to Eternity.
Yesterday is Death;
Tomorrow is Life.
Yet Tomorrow containeth Yesterday,
Even as Life containeth Death.
Yea, Tomorrow o'ercometh Yesterday,
Even as Life-o'ercometh Death.
