Crown Kinjj ICdward ! crown Kin}^ Kdward ! Britons crown y^ur jjracious Kinfif ! Come ! strinj^ the harp, attune the lyre. Let Music have her perfect sway ; Awake fair daughters of the choir, And hail his Coronation Day. He comes with banners floating gay, With Hashing steel and burnis I gold, lie comes to wear, with proutt array, The crown his fathers wore oi' old. Who is he that, stately, cometh, Wearing costly ermine robes, Decked with rich, impassioned jewels, While our life-blood warmly throbs ? 'Tis the Monarch of an Empire, Great and glorious in war ; Tis the Ruler of a Nation Loving Peace and Virtue more. He is good as he is great, Edward, King of Britain ! He shall rule a loyal State, Edward, King of Britain ! He, our great Imperator, Whom our sons shall battle for. Let us designate Victor, Edward Seventh of Britain. His is the Valour of a race That long hath dared the sternest foe ; His are the Virtues that embrace And gladden, wheresoe'er they go ; In him is consummated all The noble traits that Britain's Kings Have borne for ages ; to his rule A wealth of majesty he brings. Let us crown our noble King: With his rich, imperial crown ! As in gladdest song we sing Graces universal known ! Let us crown our gracious King And allegiance truly own ! PhcBbus' cycle path unending Never bears its beams beyond Regions where some loyal Briton Dearly loves his native land ; Or, where some true British son Karns the rest that he hath won. Many a patriotic heart Beats in many a foreign part ; Many a Briton sleeps afar Shepherded by the evening star. Back, beyond the stretching prairie, On the everlasting mountains Of Canadia, where lone settlers Live, beside the forest fountains, Splashing, dashing, rushing, pushing Thro' the canyons deeply buried In the rocks, with stars to witness, To the deep winds' solemn fitness. i f Patriot voices rise, unhurried By the tumult of the crowd. In the sun-scorch'd Indian jungfle, Far removed from kith and kin, British patriot voices minjjle With the uncouth native din, As they gladly welcome in This gay morn of merry June, With their truest patriot tune. From afar Australian voices Sweep uncheck'd across the seas Telling that the world rejoices In the great Antipodes ; While we crown our noble King With supremest honoring. From his sea-encircled watch tower in an isolated isle Of the great Pacific Ocean Gazing seawards many a mile, The long-sever'd mission hero Gladly hails the rising day With much thought of busy Fni,'-l;»nil Many thousand leagues away ; And he lifts his voice to Heaven, i 8 X As a lonely hero can, With a prayer, that, in her j,'reatnes.s, She be loyal to a man. On the Karoo, in the Kranzes, On the lone Matoppo heights, Where the flower of Britain rc.stcth After many valiant fights, Rise the voices of the Empire, Richer than the j^lowing words, And the cadence of the choir, And the music it accords. In the island of Samoa Where the sea-winds rise and fall, Sleeps a patriot son of Britain In a Icingly Taj Mahal, With the azure sky o'erbending In a vast, unbroken sheet, And the great, unfettered ocean Falling constant at his feet. Is your mind aflame for valour? Is your heart deep-set on glory? Why unearth the old-world ages With their almost-fabled story ? When our soldiers and our sailors Wear more laurel crowns and bays, Fij,'ht more fierce and bloody battles Earn more well-deserved praise, Than the finest sons that Athens Ever placed at Marathon ; Or the bravest Coriolanus Romans ever gazed upon. Is your soul athirst for learning? Do you cherish written treasure ? Why invest the jfolden lecords Of the past for all your pleasure ? When around you there are living Men of culture, and of thought, Who the richest work are giving With a heart that grudgeth not ; Statesmen, preachers, poets, painters, They have made our Empire g-reat ; 111 the toiling hand will fashion If the head unbuilds the State. Loyal Britons everywhere Make the burthen of your song. That King Edward may live long, Ruling with the choicest care, Like to her whose queenly wisdom W^as beyond compare. lo
