Where Luck Lies

You, my brother, stayed at home,
  Threshing out the beans—
I hied me to Germany,
Seeking where my Luck might be,
      League on league to roam.

Under Bukowina’s sky,
  Even there I went,
Passed the flinty Tyrol’s bar,
Wandered till I reached a star—
      Wandering still am I!

Ah, my brother, you did well—
  Threshing all the while.
Luck that would not come to me,
Luck I went so far to see,
      In your beans it fell!
