Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Opportunity

Send forth your heart's desire, and work and wait;
    The opportunities of life are brought
To our own doors, not by capricious fate,
    But by the strong compelling force of thought. 

1. The Birth of the Orchid
2. The Call (All wantonly in hours of joy)
3. Be Not Attached
4. Behold the Earth
5. The Black Charger

Edward Sill Opportunity ("THIS I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream")
