The Prayer

Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892)

AH God, for a man with heart, head, hand,

Like some of the simple great ones gone

For ever and ever by,

One still strong man in a blatant land,

Whatever they call him, what care I,

Aristocrat, democrat, autocrat—one

Who can rule, and dare not lie!
