The lark went up the mower whet his scythe	A
On golden meads kine ruminating lay	B
And all the world felt young again and blithe	C
Just as to day	B
	-
The partridge shook her covey from her wings	D
And limped along the grass on leaf and lawn	E
Shimmered the dew and every throat that sings	D
Chanted the dawn	E
	-
The doe was followed by her new dropped fawn	E
And folding all her feathers on her breast	F
The swan within the reedmace deep withdrawn	E
Dreamed on her nest	F
	-
In the green wheat the poppy burst aflame	G
Wildrose and woodbine garlanded the glade	H
And twin with maiden Summer forth there came	G
A summer Maid	H
	-
Her face was as the face of mid June when	I
Blossoms the meadowsweet the bindweed blows	J
Pale as a lily first She blenched and then	I
Blushed like a rose	J
	-
They placed a Crown upon her fair young brow	K
They put a Sceptre in her girlish hand	L
Saying Behold You are Sovereign Lady now	K
Of this great Land ''	-
	-
Silent She gazed as one who doth not know	M
The meaning of a message When She broke	N
The hush of awe around her 'twas as though	M
Her soul that spoke	N
	-
With this dread summons since 'tis Heaven's decree	O
I would not palter even if I could	P
But being a woman only I can be	O
Not great but good	P
	-
I cannot don the breastplate and the helm	Q
To my weak waist the sword I cannot gird	R
Nor in the discords that distract a Realm	Q
Be seen or heard	R
	-
But in my People's wisdom will I share	S
And in their valour play a helpful part	T
Lending them still in all they do or dare	S
My woman's heart	T
	-
And haply it may be that by God's grace	U
And unarmed Love's invulnerable might	V
I may though woman lead a manly race	U
To higher height	V
	-
If wise will curb disorderly desire	W
The Present hold the parent Past in awe	X
Religion hallowing with its sacred fire	W
Freedom and Law	Y
	-
Never be broken long as I shall reign	Z
The solemn covenant 'twixt them and me	O
To keep this Kingdom moated by the main	Z
Loyal yet free ''	-
	-
Thus with grave utterance and majestic mien	A2
She with her eighteen summers filled the Throne	B2
Where Alfred sate a girl withal a Queen	A2
Aloft alone	B2
	-
But Love that hath the power to force apart	T
The bolts and baulk the sentinels of Kings	D
Came o'er the sea and in her April heart	T
Folded his wings	D
	-
Thenceforth more dear than diadem She owned	C2
A princely helpmate sharer in her trust	D2
If not her Sceptre since withal enthroned	D2
By Time the just	D2
	-
Scorner of wrong and lover of the right	D2
Compounded all of nobleness he seemed	D2
And was indeed the perfect gentle Knight	D2
The poet dreamed	D2
	-
So when the storm of wrath arose that drave	E2
Scared Rulers from their realms Her Throne deep laid	D2
In liberty and trust calm shelter gave	E2
To Kings dismayed	D2
	-
And stronger grew the bond of love and grace	U
Betwixt Her and her People while that She	O
Reigned the glad Mother of a Royal race	U
Rulers to be	O
	-
But Death that deepens love in darkening life	E2
Turned to a pall the purple of her Throne	B2
Then more than once the maid the widowed wife	E2
Reigned all alone	B2
	-
Leave me awhile to linger with the dead ''	-
Weeping She sued But doubt not that I still	F2
Am nuptialled to my People and have wed	D2
Their deathless will	F2
	-
Their thoughts shall be my thoughts their aim my aim	G
Their free lent loyalty my right divine	G2
Mine will I make their triumphs mine their fame	G
Their sorrows mine	G2
	-
And I will be the bond to link them all	H2
In patriot purpose till my days be done	I2
So that in mind and might whate'er befall	H2
They still keep One ''	-
	-
Then to the winds yet wider was unfurled	D2
The Flag that tyrants never could enslave	E2
Till its strong wisdom governed half the world	D2
And all the wave	E2
	-
And panoplied alike for War or Peace	J2
Victoria's England furroweth still the foam	K2
To harvest Empire wiser than was Greece	J2
Wider than Rome	K2
	-
Therefore with glowing hearts and proud glad tears	L2
The children of her Island Realm to day	D2
Recall her sixty venerable years	M2
Of virtuous sway	D2
	-
Now too from where Saint Lawrence winds adown	I2
'Twixt forests felled and plains that feel the plough	E2
And Ganges jewels the Imperial Crown	I2
That girds her brow	E2
	-
From Afric's Cape where loyal watchdogs bark	N2
And Britain's Sceptre ne'er shall be withdrawn	I2
And that young Continent that greets the dark	N2
When we the dawn	I2
	-
From steel capped promontories stern and strong	O2
And lone isles mounting guard upon the main	I2
Hither her subjects wend to hail her long	O2
Resplendent Reign	I2
	-
And ever when mid June's musk roses blow	M
Our Race will celebrate Victoria's name	G
And even England's greatness gain a glow	M
From Her pure fame	G
