Hubert Parry
I Know My Soul Hath Power
I know my soul hath power to know all things
Yet she is blind and ignorant in all:
I know I'm one of Nature's little kings
Yet to the least and vilest things am thrall
I know my life's a pain and but a span;
I know my sense is mock'd in ev'rything;
And, to conclude, I know myself a Man
Which is a proud and yet a wretched thing
