It isn't opportunity that makes a thief

It isn't opportunity that makes a thief:

opportunity itself is the greatest thief.

For it stole the rest of the love

that remained in my heart.

It has handed it over to you,

all the profit of my love,

so I now, impoverished, find that my life

depends totally on you.

But at least I find comfort

in the jewel that is your eye,

And in your arms I enjoy

a renewed fortune.
