The Poet Laureate Gives Further
Proof of Being Person of
Good Intentions

NEW YORK, Jure 16.--In its forth
coming issue the Independent, under the
headline Victoria, the Great" will pub
lish the following poem, written for that
paper by Alfred Austin, poet leaurea te
of England:
The dew was on the summer lawn.
The roses bloomed the woods were gree a.
When forth there came, as fresh as dawn,
A maiden with majestic mien.
They girt a crown about her brow.
They placed sceptre in her hand.
And loud rang out a nations vow:
'God guard the lady of the land"
And now the cuckoo calls once more.
And once again Junes roses blow.
And round her throne her people pour,
Recalling sixty years ago.
And all the goodly days between.
Glory and sorrow, love and pain.
The wifely mother, widowed queen.
The loftiest as the longest reign
She shared her subjects bane and bliss.
Welcomed the wise, the base withstood.
And taught by her clear life it is
The greatness to be good.
Yet while for peace she wrought and
prayed,
She bore the trident, wore the helm,
And, mistress Of the main, she made
An empire Of her island realm.
So gathering now, from near. from far,
from rule where never sets the day,
From Southern Cross and Northern Star,
Her people lift their hearts and pray.
Longer and longer may she reign.
AS through summer night serene,
whence day doth never wholly wane,
God spare and bless our empress-uueen.
