Notes About The Poem

The Northern Lights are one of the natural wonders of the world. So beautiful and I have heard that when you are well away from the city you can even hear them tinkle. I have had the blessing to see them in all their wonder and beauty but have never heard them.

Autumn's Princess Winter's Queen

Clothed in robes of shining light,
That billow in the wind,
She flies across benighted skies,
From even to night's end.

Sometimes silver, blue or gold,
Sometimes rainbow hues,
Always glorious to see,
She leaves me so enthused.

Her hair a mane of silver,
Flowing wild about,
With streaks of gold and sparkles,
Surpass without a doubt,

All the beauties sung about,
Of goddesses of old.
She's Autumn's princess, Winter's queen,
Seen when the air grows cold.

Floating just below the clouds,
She sips from God's own chalice,
Crystal nectar pure and sweet,
Aurora Borealis.

The Northern Lights must really be something! Provincial me: I had never even heard of them 'til I read your poem, Judy. (Forget about 'tinkling.') ~ Under-privileged white non-supremacist

Thank you so much Gershon. The Northern Lights also have a sister. The Southern Lights also known as Aurora Australis. They can be seen in Tasmania, Australia, New Zealand and a couple of other places I can't remember. They're really something special. God Bless, JB

Thank you so much Victor. Truly one of the natural wonders of the world. You should take a trip in Fall to Alaska or the Northwest Territories of Canada. That's when they are really on display. God Bless, JB

If you visit the Northwest Territories in Canada in September and October you will see them. Also you will see the sun dogs which are low upon the river. You will see between eight and 10 suns in a row and not know which is the true sun. Thanks so much. Glad you liked this. God Bless, JB
