The Cloak of Greatness
Moses the Lawgiver was the most humble of men
Abraham the Patriarch dust and ashes, and when
Other kings lolled in bed nearly half the morning
The Psalmist, King David, rose at midnight's warning
When we think of great heroes, we imagine great might
Battles, war and conquests, daring bravery in fights
The three heroes I've cited were all strong, it is true --
Their greatness cloaked in humility through and through
