MAN by HENRY SEPTIMUS SUTTON

First Line: MAN DOTH USURP ALL SPACE
Last Line: ALL THAT INTERESTS MAN IS MAN.
Subject(s): MANKIND; SELFISHNESS; HUMAN RACE;
Man doth usurp all space,
Stares thee in rock, bush, river, in the face.
Never yet thine eyes beheld a tree;
'Tis no sea thou seest in the sea,
'Tis but a disguised humanity.
To avoid thy fellow, vain thy plan;
All that interests man is man.
