McGonagall - A Library Omnibus/Ode to the Queen

by William Topaz McGonagall

All hail to the Empress of India, Great Britain's Queen!
Long may she live in health, happy and serene;
  Loved by her subjects at home and abroad;
Blest may she be when lying down
  To sleep, and rising up, by the Eternal God;
Happy may her visions be in sleep...
  And happy her thoughts in the day time;
Let all loyal subjects drink to her health
  In a flowing bumper of Rhenish Wine.
And when the final hour shall come to summon her away,
May her soul be wafted to the realms of bliss,
  I most sincerely do pray, to sing with saints above,
Where all is joy, peace and love--
  In Heaven, for evermore to reign,
  God Save the Queen. Amen.
