Come, listen O Love to the voice of the dove,
Come, hearken and hear him say,
"There are many Tomorrows, my Love, my Love,
There is only one Today."
excerpt from The Voice of the Dove by Joaquin Miller
...They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,
Until at last the blanched mate said:
“Why, now not even God would know
Should I and all my men fall dead.
These very winds forget their way,
For God from these dread seas is gone.
Now speak, brave Admiral, speak and say”—
He said: “Sail on! sail on! and on!”
-excerpt from Columbus by Joaquin Miller
