Earthly Pride

Title:     Earthly Pride
Author: Ella Wheeler Wilcox [More Titles by Wilcox]

How baseless is the mightiest earthly pride,
The diamond is but charcoal purified,
The lordliest pearl that decks a monarch's breast
Is but an insect's sepulchre at best.

[The end]
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem: Earthly Pride
