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...A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 1. 1887 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN THE WIDOW AT WINDSOR by RUDYARD KIPLING IDYLLS OF THE KING: DEDICATION by ALFRED TENNYSON IDYLLS OF THE KING: TO THE QUEEN by ALFRED TENNYSON TO THE QUEEN by ALFRED TENNYSON CROWNED AND WEDDED by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THE YOUNG QUEEN by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING VICTORIA'S TEARS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING VERSES ON THE QUEEN by THOMAS CAMPBELL A FANCY FROM FONTENELLE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON |
