¶Lyrics / Text

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.
