O Tomorrow ! Crowds of strange deeds and unfulfilled events Lie unrevealed in thy dark mysteries, And many an eye desireth to behold The book of knowledge though ? t is written there, (And prayers the dread decree cannot reverse, ) That death or dread disaster hasteneth on ! ***** The bridal-banquet waits hath waited long Why cometh not the bridegroom ? Up and down Luzelia wanders, from the window place Looks forth with restless eyes, and doubtfully Questions his absence but none give reply. Ni...ght wears away the bidden guests depart, Eloquent in dim surmises and vague fears, Some scoffing at the lover s faithlessness, And some repining o er their lack of cheer, And some, more thoughtful, (age and trial give A tone of prophecy to many a mind) Suggesting sudden danger, lone mishap, And suffering unadministered and death. Discoursing hurriedly, o er moonlight hills The bridal guests have passed and every glen Echoes with wonderment that one so true Should break his troth and fail the festival Of Plighted Love so hardly earned by toil, And cheered by hopes that sanctify the heart.
