Death & Dying
With Loaded Dice
From The Poets and the Poetry of the Century, ed. Alfred H. Miles
Death & Dying
Well, thou with loaded dice hast won
The prize for which thou long hast played;
And I am left with heart undone,
To mourn what gold galore outweighed.
Yet, on the heights thy feet go vaunt.
While in the vale I rue the past;
The thought of one dark deed will haunt
And hurl thee at my feet at last.
