VlCTORIA'S MARRIAGES.

NlCTORIA'S MARRIAGE.
Written on February 10th 1910.
Victoria, tits hayward thought,
But almost deplorc,
When joy-bels tell thine alterd LOT,
Thou art not as before
For sight It was to chivalry
Most beautiful and grand,
Dominion's naughty reins to see,
PuPd by maiden's hand
The I ion fair thai inequality
Her bidding to obey,
Was but the type Britain held
beneath thy gentler sway;
Thou vert before nations bride,
Pledged to that only vow,
The love that bound US to thy side
Another shares it now;
Yet deem not by another shal'd
That nations love less strong
Its countless hearts are still prepaid
To guard their Queen from wrong;
And in the distant realms that lie,
Beyond the oceans wave,
Oh think though millions swell the cry
Not one shall be a slave,
And feign'd shade where all was bright
Inlandscape- and in sky;
And blessed be the hourto both
Tothee, and to thy land,
That saw thee give thy plighted troth,
Give it with heart and hand.
