To The Queen - ZaunköniG - 03.05.2012 William Gay 1865 - 1897 Großbritannien / Neeseeland To The Queen On the Sixtieth Year of Her Reign FOR thee, Victoria, is the world this day Circled with acclamation; and for thee The sun, advancing on his westward way, Leads on a pageant bright o'er land and sea. For thee the earth is loud with jubilant hymns, And festal joy her utmost wealth unbars; At eve flames out a myriad fire, that dims The shining of the wonder-stricken stars. O 'tis on us that first descends the dawn Of this great day, then flies from land to land, Till into one triumphant sphere are drawn Thy farthest sons, who facing towards thee stand. And in thy Imperial Throne the warrant see Of their inalienable unity. |
