When first the game of life was played
by savage man. in forest glade,
Who fought his way gainst beasts ard
men
Up to the dawn of history-then
Clubs were trumps.
Then came the age when poets sing
of seed time and of harvesting:
White hocks are led by shepherds. now,
And Cincinnatus drives his plow-
When spades are trumps.
Men cross the sea in search of gold,
The merchant ships their sails unfold,
And countries new are filed with men
Who madly strive for fortune-then
Are diamonds trumps.
When shall we see the day OF peace.
Past war; past strife for Colds increase:
When simple life and higher thought
And loving brotherhood have wrought
That hearts are trumps?
