Give the price to the best drummer, And the gift to the best dancer. Give the head to the headmaster, And crown to whom it befits. Give gold to the best team; And silver to the runner-up. Let the darkest be the ebony, And the shortest, the dwarf. Let the race to the swift, And war to the warrior.... Sign in to see full entry.

I do not really know Whether I've lived or not. I have not often shown, How mean some heart could be. I have never been dead, And know not how painful; But I know quite sure That I'll go.
