This king of the twentieth century.
On spur of land or a rock-bound coast
He opens his beady eyes;
He cares not jot for palace or cot
His home is a paradise.
He nestles close TO the mother breast
And longs not to be free
From the coddling nest where no storms

In the castle walls where the perfume

From the lamps of incense swung,
The king appears and a glad host cheers
And a pean loud is sung.

In the home of the slave or free
For this is the fame of the mothers
