thou hast known the pain
Of meaner lives,—the exile’s galling chain,
How steep the stairs within kings’ houses are,
And all the petty which mar
Man’s nobler nature with the sense of wrong.
Of meaner lives,—the exile’s galling chain,
How steep the stairs within kings’ houses are,
And all the petty which mar
Man’s nobler nature with the sense of wrong.
