IN MEMORIAM OF OUR BELOVED QUEEN
Who died at Osborne, January 22, 1901,
In her 82nd year.
Alas! alas! our Queen is dead,
Her spirit has upward flown,
She has laid aside her earthly jewels,
To wear a heavenly crown.
All o’er the world from Pole to Pole,
To people in sad distress,
She always had a bounteous hand,
Kind sympathy was in her breast.
But, ah, she’s gone! Her spirit fled
Far beyond the narrow bourne,
Her task is o’er, she’ll weap no more,
In sorrow we sadly mourn.
