Proximity

How much will you give for love,
AS if love should be bought;
How many hours do you study joy,
AS though joy could be taught.
How much will you pay for yesterday
To make the past your Trilby,
How much of today is getting away
In dreams of things that will be.
How much do you spend on decisions
With many real chances on tap,
How long will you throw away effort
AS if it were old fats scrap
Remember the better mouse-trap
AS you seek new lands to explore,
Don't wait for ranbows and heaven,
With new glories growing next door.
How much do you pay for your orchids
While the roses around you fade,
How far do you wander in search of gold
With treasure beneath your spade.
