Today is the coldest
of all cold days
Here is the loneliest
of all lonely ways
Tonight is the darkest
of all dark nights
Tomorrow is the bleakest
of all bleak heights
The world ends only
to hide what once was
The days shatter just
to prove we are such
Today is the dearest
of all dear days
Here is the brightest
of all bright rays
Tonight is the fullest
of all full nights
Darling—
Tomorrow is the loftiest
of all lofty heights
