Play not the victor’s band
Nor cast the failure’s dice
Don’t cry the sailor’s laughter
But dance the flute of your soul.
The victor’s band a cage of cries
A failure’s dice a song of sighs
It’s no better crying nor sighing
But better with what there is.
Stars are bigger than your dust
And you shine better than they twinkle
They know not tears and sighs
But you know of smiles amidst sorrows.
