RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
The Queen
The Queen is dead
Long live the King
Elizabeth of Windsor
Of thee I sing
She was a rare and dignified breed
A certain majesty and grace
She fulfilled a uniquely British need
She maintained a monarch’s pace
And passed down the royal seed
It is perhaps time to let it go
The monarchy belongs to the past
All the monarchs must surely know
Their place in history cannot last
But she was precious beyond words
Her reign was long and filled with love
Her subjects cried on the day they heard
Their queen had gone to the place above
The Queen is dead
Long live the King
Queen Elizabeth
Of thee I sing
