At the Sign of the Spade

by John Vance Cheney

John Vance Cheney

On and on, in sun and shade,

Footing over flat and grade,

King and beggar, foe and friend,

Come, at last, to the journey's end;

Stop man and maid

At the Sign of the Spade.

Sage or zany, slave or blade,

Drab or lady, the rôle is played;

Over grass and under sun

Past one hostel trudges none:

Stop man and maid

At the Sign of the Spade.
