Christina Georgina Rossetti

Here you will find the Poem I Am A King of poet Christina Georgina Rossetti

I Am A King

I am a King, 
Or an Emperor rather, 
I wear crown-imperial 
And prince's-feather; 
Golden-rod is the sceptre 
I wield and wag, 
And a broad purple flag-flower 
Waves for my flag. 
Elder the pithy 
With old-man and sage, 
These are my councillors 
Green in old age; 
Lord-and-ladies in silence 
Stand round me and wait, 
While gay ragged-robin 
Makes bows at my gate.
