The Gamblers
Life's a jail where men have common lot.

Gaunt the one who has, and who has not.

All our treasures neither less nor more,
Bread alone comes thro' the guarded door.

Cards are foolish in this jail, I think,
Yet they play for shoes, for drabs and drink.

She, my lawless, sharp-tongued gypsy maid
Will not scorn with me this jail-bird trade,
Pets some fox-eyed boy who turns the trick,
Tho' he win a button or a stick,
Pencil, garter, ribbon, corset-lace —
His the glory, mine is the disgrace.


Sweet, I'd rather lose than win despite
Love of hearty words and maids polite.

"Love's a gamble," say you.
I deny.

Love's a gift.
I love you till I die.

Gamblers fight like rats.
I will not play.

All I ever had I gave away.

All I ever coveted was peace
Such as comes if we have jail release.

Cards are puzzles, tho' the prize be gold,
Cards help not the bread that tastes of mold,
Cards dye not your hair to black more deep,
Cards make not the children cease to weep.


Scorned, I sit with half shut eyes all day —
Watch the cataract of sunshine play
Down the wall, and dance upon the floor.

Sun, come down and break the dungeon door!
Of such gold dust could I make a key, —
Turn the bolt — how soon we would be free!
Over borders we would hurry on
Safe by sunrise farms, and springs of dawn,
Wash our wounds and jail stains there at last,
Azure rivers flowing, flowing past.

God has great estates just past the line,
Green farms for all, and meat and corn and wine.
