...down 
Full many a stranger in Walgett Town. 

The stranger smiled with a sickly smile -- 
'Tis a sickly smile that the loser grins -- 
And he said he had travelled for quite a while 
A-trying to sell some marsupial skins. 
"And I thought that perhaps, as you've took me down, 
You would buy them from me, in Walgett Town!" 

He said that his home was at Wingalee, 
At Wingalee, where he had for sale 
Some fifty skins and would guarantee 
They were full-sized skins, with the ear...Read more of this...

...on the waves at their feet.
In public Her face is averted, with anger She nameth thy name.
It is well. Was there ever a loser content with the loss of the game?

 XV.
If She have spoken a word, remember thy lips are sealed,
And the Brand of the Dog is upon him by whom is the secret revealed.
If She have written a letter, delay not an instant, but burn it.
Tear it to pieces, O Fool, and the wind to her mate shall return it!
If there be trouble to Herward, and a lie of the blac...Read more of this...

 Have you the needful dice?" 
 
 "Yes, here they wait 
 For us." 
 
 "Who wins shall have the Marquisate; 
 Loser, the girl." 
 
 "Agreed." 
 
 "A noise I hear?" 
 "Only the wind that sounds like some one near— 
 Are you afraid?" said Zeno. 
 
 "Naught I fear 
 Save fasting—and that solid earth should gape. 
 Let's throw and fate decide—ere time escape." 
 Then rolled the dice. 
 
 "'Tis four." 
 
 'Twas Joss to throw. 
 "Six!—and I neatly win, you...Read more of this...

...that line there moving through the station? 
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those 
Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I
just might win 
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the
discipline 
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin 
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin 
I don't like your fashion business mister 
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin 
I don't like what happened to my sister 
First w...Read more of this...

...its service.
 Its guerdon
 is a fairy flower;
a cat of twenty lives.
 If no one came to try it
 the world
would be the loser.
 It has been
 for you and me
as one who watches a storm
 come in over the water.
 We have stood
from year to year
 before the spectacle of our lives
 with joined hands.
The storm unfolds.
 Lightning
 plays about the edges of the clouds.
The sky to the north
 is placid,
 blue in the afterglow
as the storm piles up.
 It is a flower
 that will soon reach...Read more of this...

...ay, not smirkle -
Mouth a semicircle,
That's the proper style!

Little Birds are sleeping
All among the pins,
Where the loser wins:
Where, I say, he sneezes
When and how he pleases -
So the Tale begins.

Little Birds are writing
Interesting books,
To be read by cooks:
Read, I say, not roasted -

Loses its good looks.

Little Birds are playing
Bagpipes on the shore,
Where the tourists snore:
"Thanks!" they cry. "'Tis thrilling!
Take, oh take this shil...Read more of this...

...iles and 
yell cheers—I know why judges of the race call him a winner and give him a special prize 
even though he is a loser.

I know he kept under his shirt and around his thudding heart amid the blizzards of five 
hundred miles that one last wonder-cry of Childe Roland—and I told the six-year-old girl 
all about it.

And while the January wind was ripping at the shingles and whistling a wolf song under the 
eaves, her eyes had the haze of autumn hills and it was beautiful ...Read more of this...

...n the Stand. 

The rule holds good in everything in life's uncertain fight; 
You'll find the winner can't go wrong, the loser can't go right. 
You ride a slashing race, and lose -- by one and all you're banned! 
Ride like a bag of flour, and win -- they'll cheer you in the Stand...Read more of this...
