LOVE'S KINGDOM, by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER Poet's Biography First Line: You see no pomp of circumstance Last Line: And I am royal there. Alternate Author Name(s): Van Deth, Gerrit, Mrs. Subject(s): Love; Praise | |||
YOU see no pomp of circumstance, No entourage of pride, My lowly seeming to enhance As I walk by your side. All day, at others' beck and call, My work obscure is done, But off my shabby garments fall When comes the set of sun You may not know it, friend, but then I, walking by your side, Am crowned and sceptred, king of men. Let none my state deride; For when I turn my own latch-key My wife is at the stair, The baby claps her hands with glee, And I am royal there. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRAISE PREMATURE by SAMUEL BISHOP ON GIFTS FOR GRACE by BERNADETTE MAYER AFTERTHOUGHTS OF DONNA ELVIRA by CAROLYN KIZER OUR DEATHLESS DEAD by EDWIN MARKHAM SIR JOHN CHIVERTON: DEDICATORY STANZAS. by WILLIAM HARRISON AINSWORTH A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 12.
