Long May You Reign
As genial cheers weave spells in your presence
To enchant our eyes with jubilant scenes;
For conservative ways do kindle wonders
Though few will say, all is not what it seems.
Yet the stars beam in joyful contentment
Crowning eighty years of Elizabeth’s time,
Guided by old rules yet loved by her people
Who offer flowers and wishes sublime.
For London today brims with warm faces
A moment in June while voices bellow;
“Long may you reign for England, may you reign!”
Till history peals of decades that glow.
Dear Majesty, when hours entice you back
Remember your dreams will always be steered;
For this kingdom is blessed by life’s devotion
While endless fjords whisper your name, revered.
