English.png English text

Who can dwell with greatness? Greatness is too high;
Flowers are for the meadow, suns are for the sky;
Ah! but there is greatness in this land of ours,
High as is the sunight, humble as the flowers.

Queen, of thee the fable! Lady, thine the fate!
Royal, and yet lowly, lowly, and yet great;
Great in far dominion, great in pomp of years,
Greater still as woman, greatest in thy tears!
