Emily Dickinson - Yesterday is History,

Yesterday is History,
'Tis so far away --
Yesterday is Poetry --
'Tis Philosophy --

Yesterday is mystery --
Where it is Today
While we shrewdly speculate
Flutter both away

the meaning

please tell me what do you mean by Yesterday is mystery
Where it is Today
While we shrewdly speculate
Flutter both away
please be so kind and explain it to me to understand what you mean
