What does morrow mean? Morrow is a literary or poetic way of saying tomorrow or the next day. In some cases, it’s also used to mean the morning or the period after something. Morrow is most often seen in old poetry and literature. No one uses the word morrow in everyday speech unless they’re trying to mimic a poetic style or sound like a character from an old play. Example: There’s never enough time today—if only we could borrow from the morrow.
