" Ode To ThéQueeni ‘ A This Lady whom we crown was 110111 1 _ When buds were green upon the thorn 1 And earliest cowslips shoWed; ; When still unseen by mortal eye One cuckoo tolled his “Here am 1",, And over little glints of sky, In rain- pâ€"ools whence the trickles flowed, ‘ The smell snipe clattered wing. The swallows were upon the road, Nought but the ch-erry-blossom snowed, The prormse was on all ï¬elds sowed Q 01‘ Earth’s beginning Spring Now that we crown her as our Queen May love keep all her pathways green, A May sunlight bless her day's; ‘ May the fair Spring of her beginning Ripen to all things Worth the winning, The very surest of our praise That mortal men attempt. May this'old land revive and, be Again a star set in the sea, 1 ‘ A Kingdom ï¬t for†such as she : With glories yet undreanit. ' - ‘ _â€"JOHN MASEFIELD, 3 . - g .. Poet Laureate FW’ â€"I>'ï¬il i7-.
