Am Sovereign of them all.
(5 votes, average: 4.20 out of 5)
Loading ...GOD gave a loaf to every bird,
But just a crumb to me;
I dare not eat it, though I starve,—
My poignant luxury
To own it, touch it, prove the feat
That made the pellet mine,—
Too happy in my sparrow chance
For ampler coveting.
It might be famine all around,
I could not miss an ear,
Such plenty smiles upon my board,
My garner shows so fair.
I wonder how the rich may feel,—
An Indiaman—an Earl?
I deem that I with but a crumb
Am sovereign of them all.

LOVE is good,love is bad, but with me, love is the best thing you never had
Past the breakfast table
I have no other food
My friends and family serve me
that which I deserve
Be it with crumb and without taste
I need no other sustenance
Than with any lack of some pride
an element of a served penance
