The Diamond Is the type Of Weslth,
The Spade Of lands aboundlng,
The Club df power and greatness speaks,
With rank and rule surrounding;
The Heart, II breathes Of bosom'd Joys,
Der all the rest outlying
II Is the beacon-llght Of home,
On loves bright ray relying.
As In each game Of chance or skill,
Trump Hearts are Slighted never;
30, In the earnest game Of life,
May Hearts be Trumps forever.
Put not thy faith In dazzling gems,
They're OF but tlnsel cleaning;
And u thou seekesI power OF wealth,
Thou1t hnd them empty dreaming.
They'll neither yield thy conscience peace,
Or make thy breast the lighter;
Like gems, they never shine In shade,
When true hearts beam the brighter.
Then, as in games Of chance or skin,
The Hearts ill-omend never;
So, In the earnest game Of life,
May Hearts be Trumps forever.
