TO-MORROW.

A bright little boy with laughing face,
Whose every motion was full of grace,
Who knew no trouble and feared no care,
Was the light of our household--the youngest there.

With troublesome questions to vex himself;
But for many days a thought would rise,
And bring a shade to the dancing eyes.
