Meaning of “I'd use to-day that cannot last, Be glad…”
Awareness that another spring is not guaranteed turns attention toward using the present day rather than postponing every form of gladness.
Where does it come from?
“Another Spring,” Project Gutenberg #16950. The stanza begins conditionally—'If I might see another Spring'—so the present-focused conclusion grows from mortality and uncertainty.
