The Hand that holds the Cards will win the Score!

     Some for the Gain of Penny Points, and Some

     Sigh for the Lovely Prizes yet to come.

     =Oh, take the Prize and let the Pennies go,

     Nor heed the winning of a Paltry Sum.

     When You and I our Last Bridge Game have played,

     The Games will go right on by Those who've Stayed,

     =Who of Our Coming and Departure heed

     As the Heart Ace should heed a little Spade.

     We are no other than a Moving Row

     Of Magic Dummy Hands that Come and Go.

     =Played to the Last Trump by the Hand of Fate,

     By whom our Hearts are Shuffled To and Fro.
