Queen Victoria’s Jubilee.
To-day o’er what far seas, from what far lands, Come sounds of greeting to our British shore. How many glad bells ring, what can. nous roar. What nations lift congratulating hands To heaven and thank the Giver, for she stands The truest Queen that over empire wore ; Lady of all our patriot hearts before Our willing ears have heard her just commands, She stands upon the stairway of the years. And sorrow too, has clomb her royal height ; Bereft of children, consortless, alone, Her empire is unbounded, for the right She rules by is the sovereign tight of tears, Love is her sceptre, sympathy her throne.
