Wealthy man you wonder why I am treasured
Being not a man of means or clout
A crumb of Rhomb or Gold I live without
Yet you stroke your head in fear
You die to know why I am treasured
If I told you would you believe?
It is in the gentleness of my soul
And in this tamed strength I have
Yet I am confidently a man
You wonder the hush-hush about me
If I told you would you believe?
It is the peace in my voice
Yet my love comes roaring at you
It is in the broadness of my shoulders
And in this cool gait I have
Yet I am confidently a man
