As I marched out one day in Spring,
Proud of my life and power -
I saw an infant, all alone,
Kissing a small, red flower.
He looked at me with solemn eyes,
As only children can,
And - in a voice that might be God's -
He called distinctly - "Man!"
Though I had been the Pope of Rome,
Our English King or Heir,
A child has called in God's own way,
And I have answered - "Here!"
