PoEM-QEEEN VICTORIA: C. A. FISHER.
Oh! matchless woman, most indulgent queen
90 teach proud kings the secret of thyreign.
The crown Of England yours by chance of
birth;
Transparent gem, by which We see your
worth.
How vain the triumphs Of imperial power,
Unless sweet sympathy shall rule the hour.
Her majesty arose with grace serene:
With soul OF woman and with power of aueen
In sooth, her life shows to the kings of earth
That wisdom true may conquer blood or birth,
Ger borne by grief, for husband long re-
moved,
By subjects, and children well beloved:
Theiovc of mankind, which she seems to
bear.
Extends to the afflicted everywhere.
Who hath not proved how feebly words essay
To fix one spark of virtues heavenly ray?
Who doth not feel, until his failing sight
Fades Into darkness with its own delight:
His changing check, his fainting heart con-
fess,
The might, the majesty of virtue loveliness.
Her sympathy is not like kings of yore,
1t reaches burdened souls of everywhere.
Our peoples hearts stood still by magic spell,
When by the vlest hand our chieftain fell.
The Nation sat in gloom and seemed to weep;
Her message Of love flashed thro' the deep.
Shall she be queen of England's isle, alone.
The earth and heaven shall be her bound
throne!
