They grit a crown about her brow
They place scepter in her hand
And loud rang out the nations VOW

And once again June's roses blow;
And round her throne her people pour
Recalling sixty years ago.
And all the eoodly days between
Glory and sorrow. love and pain

The loftiest as ths longest reign.
She shared her subjects hane and bliss.

And taugn. By her clear life it's

Yet while for peace she wrought and prayed
She bore the trident. wore the helm

An empire OK her island realm
So gathering now. from near from far,
From rule where never sets the day.
From southern Cross ami Northern star
Her pc0pse lift their hearts AMI pray,
Longer and longer may she reign.

Whence dav doth never wholly wane.
