And thou upon thy mother's breast No longer lean adown, But take the glory for the rest, And rule the land that loves thee best!" She heard, and wept — She wept, to wear a crown! io They decked her courtly halls; They reined her hundred steeds j They shouted at her palace gate, "A noble Queen succeeds!" Her name has stirred the mountain's sleep, Her praise has filled the town! And mourners Grod had stricken deep, Looked hearkening up, and did not weep. Alone she wept, Who wept, to wear a crown!... 20 172 BALLADS AND POEMS She saw no purples shine, For tears had dimmed her eyes; She only knew her childhood's flowers Were happier pageantries ! And while her heralds played the part, For million shouts to drown — "God save the Queen" from hill to mart, — She heard through all her beating heart, And turned and wept — She wept, to wear a crown ! 30 God save thee, weeping Queen! Thou shalt be well beloved ! The tyrant's sceptre cannot move As those pure tears have moved ! The nature in thine eyes we see, That tyrants cannot own, The love that guardeth liberties!
