## The words

Who can dwell with greatness,  
with greatness!  
Greatness is too high, too high;  
Flowers are for the meadow, Suns are for the  
sky; Ah! but there is greatness in this land of  
ours, High as the sunlight, high as the  
sunlight, Humble as the flowers,  
humble as the flowers! Queen, of thee the  
fable,  
of thee the fable! Lady thine the fate,  
the fate! Royal, and yet lowly,  
Lowly and yet great; Great in far dominion  
Great in pomp of years, Great in far dominion,  
Great in pomp of years, Greater still as woman,  
greater still as woman, Greatest in thy  
tears, greatest in thy tears, greatest in thy  
tears!
