LITTLE KING by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: FROM WORSHIPPING I NOW ARISE
Last Line: WILL LOVE YOU WELL, NOR LOVE YOU LONG.

From worshipping I now arise
Stunned and aghast, with open eyes
I see the real, the little you
I thought so gallant, brave and true.

A pity yet is mine, I fear,
Since wherefore comes this falling tear,
For none among your fawning throng
Will love you well, nor love you long.
