1582. A Crowned Poet

By Anne Reeve Aldrich


IN thy coach of state
Pass, O King, along:
He no envy feels
To whom God giveth song.

Starving, still I smile,	5
Laugh at want and wrong:
He is fed and crowned
To whom God giveth song.

Better than all pomps
That to rank belong,—	10
One such dream as his
To whom God giveth song.

Let us greet, O King,
As we pass along:
He, too, is a king	15
To whom God giveth song.
