                                   The Passing of The Queen

                                       Regina Dei Gratia

Few constants obtain in our shifting world
And even those constants must leave us at last
Even as the mists of September obscure
The golden days of a summer now past

It is not only the Queen who has passed today
But rather the passing of something in us
Who stand to our duty as she led us to do
Each of us made better because she served

God save the Queen

God save the King
