Of the craving that impels

To the winning and the sinning

Of the Hells, Hells, Hells,

To the losing and abusing of the Hells.

Hear the losers at the Hells—

Homburg Hells!

What an end of dread despondency their mien foretells!

When fortune turns her back,

And the promised Red looks Black,

And the Black grows Red with shame,
