WE KNOW NOT WHY
——
    'Tis true, to some     Good luck will come As we go life's path along;     While to others here     There's naught of cheer, And every thing goes wrong.
    Yet we cannot know     Why it is so—For a few there is peace complete;     The while for some     There is not a crumb From the loaf of comfort sweet.
    Some know not the turmoil     Of struggle and toil—Yet there's enough and to spare for those     Who can live at their ease     And do as they please—And their crown is entwined with the rose.
