WHO can dwell with greatness! Greatness is too high; Flowers are for the meadow, suns are for the sky: -- Ah! but there is greatness in this land of ours, High as is the sunlight, humble as the flowers! QUEEN, of thee the fable! LADY, thine the fate! Royal, and yet lowly, lowly and yet great; -- Great in far dominion, great in bannered years, Greater still as woman, greatest in thy tears! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TASTING THE EARTH by JAMES OPPENHEIM THE PALM TREE by ABD-AR RAHMAN I ON SENESIS' MUMMY by LEONIE ADAMS THE BURIED FLOWER by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN DEDICATIONS AND INSCRIPTIONS: 12.
