[bodytext] => In nature, Crow conquers the owl in the broad daylight So also, the defeated king needs fitting time to fight The bond that binds fortune, is effort made Strictly observed, its still a favoring season`s aid Can any work be hard in its very fact, If you use, fitting means in your timely act? Even the pendant world`s dominion may be won If action that fits time and place be done If one wishes the pendant world itself to subjugate For the fitting time, with unruffled mind, must wait Persons with mighty power make their hidden energies repress As the fighting army, recoils to rush on foe with heavier stress Glorious persons, even with wrath enkindled, make no outward show But will bide their time, with hidden fires within them glow Even for foes hateful form, with patience, let them bear At last for fateful hour that they spy, the head lies there If for you, the hardest gain of opportunity is won With promptitude, let even the hardest deed be done Like the heron that stands with folded wings, in waiting hour When fortune smiles, as it snaps its prey, put forth your power.
