What care I for caste or creed? It is the deed, it is the deed; What for class or what for clan? It is the man, it is the man; Heirs of love, and joy, and woe, Who is high, and who is low? Mountain, valley, sky, and sea, Are for all humanity. What care I for robe or stole? It is the soul, it is the soul; What for crown, or what for crest? It is the heart within the breast; It is the faith, it is the hope, It is the struggle up the slope, It is the brain and eye to see, One God and one humanity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPEAKING TERMS by JAMES GALVIN EVERYBODY KNOWS by DAVID IGNATOW |
