The Conquerors
written by William Henry Davies
From "The Birth Of Song", 1936 Link to further information




Who are these men with quiet smiles -
   How came these two together?
I'd walk ten miles to meet with one
   Or ten to miss the other.

The one man smiles because the World
   Is conquered by his love;
The other smiles because the world
   Must fear his every move.
