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.
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.
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.
