O WORLD, be nobler, for her sake! <br /> If she but knew thee what thou art, <br />What wrongs are borne, what deeds are done <br />In thee, beneath thy daily sun, <br /> Know'st thou not that her tender heart <br />For pain and very shame would break? <br />O World, be nobler, for her sake!<br /><br />Laurence Binyon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-world-be-nobler/
