  Search well thy ways, thy wishes,— Thy deepest life lay bare; Against to-morrow’s daylight, Desire and deed prepare. Of reckless ease and pleasure, And slothful will, beware; Against to-morrow’s daylight, Thy stewardship prepare. Ambition, aim, and motive,— To each give honest care; Against to-morrow’s daylight, Thy character prepare. O Judgment-journeying brother! Thyself shall meet thee there;— Against to-morrow’s daylight, Thy destiny prepare. Choose well; thy choice is endless! Be this our earnest prayer:— “Against to-morrow’s daylight, O God, my soul prepare.”
