ACROSTIC AND SONNET

To Her Majesty the Queen,

ON HER 47TH BIRTHDAY, MAY 24, 1866.

QUEEN of our hearts as of our lands, thou knowest Upon what stubborn soil thy seal is set.

England loves thee for all the good thou showest: Exalted evil she ne'er worshipp'd yet,

No crowned selfishness her love may get.

VICTORIA, a nobler power is thine,

In purest, tenderest womanhood ensphered:
Centre of all the nation holds endear'd,
Thou, and thy unforgotten love benign.
Over these isles thy name is as a spell
Ringing to every clime below the sun;
In every home the people love to tell

All thy good deeds—and sure they know them well:
First of thy name, thou hast for it undying honour

won!

MARY BENNETT.
