OPPORTUNITY, by                    
First Line: I know not what the future holds
Last Line: While youth is guest!
Subject(s): Opportunity


I KNOW not what the future holds --
But this I know,
Youth is a guest, who on his way
Too soon will go.

Once gone we call to deafened ears.
All prayers are vain!
For tears of blood, he will not come
Back once again.

Then spread the board of Life, with wine
And roses drest,
Drink deep and long, greet Joy and Love
While Youth is guest!
