DRAMATISTS > poet > Alfred, Lord Tennyson
For what are...
Vendor: DRAMATISTS
For what are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them friend?
For so the whole round earth is every way
Bound by gold chains
