The torn cards now lie littered at her feet
All hope is gone and the stony heart is replete
With all anxious cares gone by to see
Deaths armies coagulate at the sight He
Fate has dealt her a deadly blow
Now under the sod she will surely go
As to the twist of circumstance and pride
Shake its fist and all other helps deride.
Come Queen of hearts and melt the stony wax
That lays the card out like brass tacks
Waiting for love that never comes
Engulfed by the everyday chores and humdrums
The Black King will welcome you now
He who points the way will show you how
To get recompense for the grisly deed
That dealt the death blow to your need.
