Poem
Alas! our noble and generous Queen Victoria is dead, And I hope her soul to Heaven has fled, To sing and rejoice with saints above, Where ah is joy, peace, and love. 'Twas on January 22, 1901, in the evening she died at 6.30 o'clock, Which to the civilised world has been a great shock; She was surrounded by her children and grandchildren dear, And for the motherly, pious Queen they shed many a tear. She has been a model and faithful Queen, Very few like her have been; She has acted virtuously during her long reign, And I'm afraid the world will never see her like again. And during her reign she was beloved by the high and the low, And through her decease the people's hearts are full of woe, Because she was kind to her subjects at home and abroad, And now she's receiving her reward from the Eternal God. And during her reign in this world of trouble and strife Several attempts were made to take her life; Maclean he tried to shoot her, but he did fail, But he was arrested and sent to an aaylum, which made him bewail. Victoria was a,noble Queen, the people must confess, She was most charitable to them while in distress; And in her disposition she wasn't proud nor vain, And tears for her loss will fall as plentiful as rain. The people around Balmoral will shed many tears Owing to her visits amongst them for many years; She was very kind to the old, infirm women there, By giving them provisions and occasionally a prayer. And while at Balmoral she found work for men unemployed, Which made the hearts of the poor men feel overjoyed; And for Her Majesty they would have laid down their lives, Because sometimes she saved them from starving, and their wives. Many happy days she spent at Balmoral, Viewing the blooming heather and the bonnie Highland floral, Along with Prince Albert, her husband dear, But alas! when he died she shed many a tear. She was very charitable, as everybody knows, But the loss of her husband caused her many woes, Because he cheered her at Balmoral as they the heather trod, But I hope she has met him now at the Throne of God. They ascended the Hill of Morven when she was in her fortieth year, And Her Majesty was delighted as she viewed the Highland deer; Also dark Lochnagar, which is most beautiful to see, Not far from Balmoral and the dark River Dee. I hope they are walking in Heaven together as they did in life In the beautiful celestial regions, free from all strife, Where God's family together continually meet, Where the streets are paved with gold, and everything complete. Alas! for the loss of Queen Victoria the people will mourn, But she unto them can never return; Therefore to mourn for her is all in vain, Knowing that she can never return again. Therefore, good people, one and all, Let us be prepared for death when God does on us call, Like the good and noble Queen Victoria of renown, The greatest and most virtuous Queen that ever wore a crown.
