MY QUEEN! beloved, bereaved--no festal car B Yet not alone, though thy worn spirit pines That thou no more may'st read the tender lines Where anguish'd suffering strove with patient grace; So dear on earth, and waited for above; And these dear pledges thou, in faith and prayer, Than aught thy crown and sceptre can bestow! |
