You are too young to fall asleep for ever; And when you sleep you remind me of the dead.
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, autocratone Who can rule and dare not lie.
For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever.
