BY JOHN CAMPBELL, University of Toronto, '^fc^ J URONTO— 1862. i OUR WIDOWED QUEEN. * -«>i Our widowed Queen! oh sadly falls Thy name of mourning, lately breathed, Dark is the veil of grief that palls The throne of kings, now, cypress wreathed ; Short-sighted in our present bliss, We lived in peace, our direst fears Ne'er framed for thee a name like this, Thy title to a nation's tears. OUR Wrhowi I) niJKKN. Oh, never has our own fair land Been blessed with prince more loved than he, Whose earnest rnind, whose fostering hand, A widowed people mourns with thee ; No consort worthier to share The glory of thy mighty sway, Or show forth all a father's care, Has ever passed from earth away. :•^* ■ • Our widowed Queen ! well mayst thou mourn The stroke of death, what anguish sore Thy tender heart has bravely borne, Yet more should we his loss deplore ; With us, alone, his name and deeds. No trifling legacies remain ; Whilst o'er thy heart the widow's weeds But blossem hopes to meet again ; OUR winowF.n (jueen. And when thou lay'st the sccptro clown, And tak'st unto thyself a prize More glorious far than earthly crown That ever dazzled mortal eyes, In the bright light of heaven's own love With him thy love shall perfect be ; A nation knows no life aljove, Thy people may not follow thee. Our homage is of little worth To comfort thee in all thy voe, Or call the love that lost to earth Now makes the tears of orphans flow ; And therefore would we humbly pray To Him who in all times has been The widow's and the orphan's stay- God save nnri hL.cc ,»,.- ,,.,•-!- i j-x 1 H "'"' 'v,now.n ,„„,^ "°'' '•••ve and b;,,, .^^.^ ^ "K hearts which « . . ^•'"•"'> o,v„ ,,„, , '"' ""' ■" ",n true heart hoc ^ ''''■•«■•"% people- """'""''■'"'•''e; ^^ou niayst ic/n.v - - .":::::": "*- ""'"■ '"'■'"'"■eel Queen.
