not empty honours

not empty honours of the noble fool

but simple dignity and scent of earth

laughing at fears of drought and angry dearth

 

no wise man sitting on a gilded stool

to praise the omen or announce the birth

not empty honours of the noble fool

 

but the plain lesson of the oldest school

take proper time for tears and time for mirth

give praise only to those who earn their worth

not empty honours of the noble fool
