Versos English Thomas S. Jones A Yesterday

English poem

A Yesterday

by (1882–1932)

Listen in the reader

I held you in my arms—so happy I, Who quite forgot the while that moments fly; Nor ever dreamed that they could pass away, Till it was yesterday.

Yet, just because that hour was long ago And seems to me so near—well, this I know That sometime I shall clasp your hand and say: Was there a yesterday?
