- | |
- | |
Poor foolish monarch vacillating vain | B |
Decaying victim of a race of kings | C |
Swift Destiny shook out her purple wings | C |
And caught him in their shadow not again | D |
Could furtive plotting smear another stain | B |
Across his tarnished honour Smoulderings | C |
Of sacrificial fires burst their rings | C |
And blotted out in smoke his lost domain | B |
Bereft of courtiers only with his queen | E |
From empty palace down to empty quay | A |
No challenge screamed from hostile carabine | E |
A single vessel waited shadowy | A |
All night she ploughed her solitary way | F |
Beneath the stars and through a tranquil sea | A |
