The Ten Virgins !

The Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgin,
Who took the lamp to meet the bridegroom,
The five were wise,other five were foolish herein,
O!the foolish took no oil in the dark of gloom.

But the wise took oil in the vessels with the lamp,
The groom's arrival delayed,so slumber'd and slept,
'Bridegroom is coming' there was a cry in the camp,
Everyone got readied to meet the groom,it was midnight.

Those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps fast,
Foolish virgins were asking for oil,their lamps were out
Buy for yourself,our oil may not suffice till the feast,
As they went out,the bridegroom so soon came about.

Those who were ready went with him to the feast,
The other virgins came crying,'Lord open to us,O Lord',
The door was shut just to make the function go abreast,
" I have not known you" assuredly said the bard.

No one knows when the Son of Man is coming,
We neither know the day nor the hour,
But we can only keep watching and praying,
The day of coming is nearing so watch to endeavour.
