In Her Majesty.

There she sits proud on her throne
   In her silent grandeur ever festooned
      Of the beauty of the seasons colors
Her ebony skin a perfection of onyx
   While she dances in the summer’s breeze
      Bowing in proper during warm spring rains
Adorned in the luminous jewels of winter
   A beauty of eternal radiance so delicate
      Titivating every branch and bough
At autumns approach she stands in brave manner
   Bearing the extolling colors of eminent death
      While her once emerald beauty withers and fades
Countless times in eternity has her splendor died
   Yet ever reborn in the jollity of springtime
      Always allayed she shall bear the death shroud 

            Again and again in eternity
