letra de sonnet - my ancestors - henry alford - richard mitchley
Loading...
unknown it is to me, who handed down
from sire to son mine humble family;
whether they dwelt in low obscurity
or by achievements purchased high renown:
whether with princely or baronial crown
their brows were bound, or martyr–wreath of flame:
no glories mark the track through which my name
hath come: i only know it as mine own
yet i am one of no mean parentage:
the poorest line of christian ancestry
might serve upon the world’s unbounded stage
to act god’s dealings: all mankind might see
more truth than now they know, were this my line
of distant sires their evidence to join
