Listen to poem:
Soldiers Play Cards Night and Day
Every night a game of card is played,
four suits fates fortell;
for war is a great leveller
for infantry boys in battle.
Soldiers double-dare gambling,
day and night. All-in a game
of summer hearts; diamonds in spring;
clubs in autumn; and winter spades for graves.
Cards shuffled and dealt face-down,
in grimy hands, that hold all the cards.
