The evening's vaunted kingdom is wisely
Ruled by a child.
Her eyes are bejeweled
With diamond-spangled dreams,
Her bewinged enchantment is wild!
Queen Audrey declares her royal fiat
And lets her fancy fly.
She gathers her legions, setting alight the sky!
She proclaims to her realm:
"Rise! Play! Shine and away!
Cross the heavens with speed but be not afraid!
I command the stars above me to slay the nightly shade!
Go forth, my army! Gallop to distant shores!
Herald the message I give you now, tell them
Simply, 'Stop all your wars!'
Grant your mystical glow
To the troubled world below and
Help them all to mend.
For when they look to their higher selves,
Their spirits will again transcend."
