The Macedon Youth
Left behind him this truth:
That Nothing was done with much thinking;
He drank and he fought,
And he got what he sought,
And the World was his own by fair drinking.
He wash'd his great Soul
In a plentiful Bowl,
He cast away Trouble and Sorrow;
His Mind did not run
Of what was to be done,
For he thought of today, not tomorrow.
