" Nay, wife, nay, children, now Is here the one He spake of to me, — Death ; With hollow voice he bids me follow him." 179 Digitized by Google THE PASSING OF THE QUEEN (January zz, iQOl) Answer the cabin and the hunting-shed The voice of mourning in the royal halls ; The shadow crawls upon the crowned head, From out her palsied hand the sceptre falls. .
So. Wrap her in the banner from herwalls.
And in her regal peace be comforted.
Hark ! up and down the earth gray honor calls.
And the long glor...ies gather round her bed.
Through all the years her people have been fed, Yea^ the wild ox has fatted in her stalls ; To islands of the sea her lines have spread.
Proud sons of song have sung her mad- rigals.
Come, while the growing pageants past her sweep.
Wrap round the banner-fold, and let her sleep.

Have made me whole with strong, restor- ing thought ; By you I have been heartened and been taught In noble prose, in high immortal rime.
