A poem by Ambrose Bierce

The Dead King

________________________________________________
Title:     The Dead King
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

Hawaii's King resigned his breath--
Our Legislature guffawed.
The awful dignity of death
Not any single rough awed.
But when our Legislators die
All Kings, Queens, Jacks and Aces cry.








[The end]
