The Court is far away

The Court is far away --
No Umpire -- have I --
My Sovereign is offended --
To gain his grace -- I'd die!

I'll seek his royal feet --
I'll say -- Remember -- King --
Thou shalt -- thyself -- one day -- a Child --
Implore a larger -- thing --

That Empire -- is of Czars --
As small -- they say -- as I --
Grant me -- that day -- the royalty --
To intercede -- for Thee --
