Nut-brown and strong,
        Wields the sword that
         administers justice
        and rules a nation.

        The hand,
         Pale, slim-fingered, delicate
        Writes and plays the music
         And songs that
        Enthral a nation.

        The hand,
         Ink-stained, certain, holds the pen
        That writes the words
         That rules an Empire.

        The hand,
         Pale, soft and tender,
        Rocks a cradle.
         that hand rules the world.
