## The words

To her beneath whose stedfast star From pole  
to pole in lusty play Her English wander,  
forcing far Their worldingath'ring way;  
Out– soar the Cæsar's eagle flight,  
Outrun, out– run the Macedonian reign,  
Flash from the flamy Northern night Speech to  
the Austral main:  
To her whose patient eyes have seen Man's  
knowledge wax thro' ebb and flow,  
Till some have felt those bars between Wind of  
the Spirit blow;  
Tho' some, heartworn with doubt and strife,  
Would bid the doomful thunder fall,  
Bind as with bands, with bands the cosmic Life,  
And dream the end of all: Beyond,  
beyond their wisdom's bound, Thro' fairer  
realms the Queen shall roam, Till soul with soul  
the Wife hath found Her mysticwedded home her  
mystic– wedded home:  
While her longrumoured glories stir The  
earthengirdling wave, While her longrumoured  
glories stir The blue tide’s earthengirdling  
wave, The blue tide's earthengirdling wave,  
With love, with life, her Prince and her,  
with love, with life, her Prince and her The  
AllFather shield shield, shield and save!  
Let the Queen live,  
live for ever, Let the Queen live for ever,  
live for ever!  
To her, to her beneath whose stedfast star  
From pole to pole in lusty play Her English  
wander, forcing far Their worldingath'ring  
way; Outsoar the Cæsar's eagle flight,  
Outrun, outrun the Macedonian reign,  
Flash, flash from the flamy Northern night  
Speech to the Austral main:  
To her, to her whose patient eyes have seen  
Man's knowledge wax thro' ebb and flow,  
Till some have felt those bars between some  
have felt Wind of the Spirit blow;  
Tho' some, heartworn with doubt and strife,  
Would bid the doomful thunder fall,  
Bind as with bands, with bands the cosmic Life,  
And dream the end of all: Beyond,  
beyond their wisdom's bound,  
Thro' fairer realms  
the Queen  
shall roam, Till soul with soul the Wife hath  
found Her mysticwedded home her  
mystic– wedded home:  
Her longrumoured glories stir The blue tide's  
wave,  
her glories stir  
her glories stir  
The blue tide's earthengirdling wave,  
Her longrumoured glories stir,  
While her longrumoured glories stir The blue  
tide's earthengirdling wave, The blue tide's  
earthengirdling wave, With love,  
with life, her Prince and her The AllFather  
shield and save! With love, with life,  
her Prince and her The AllFather shield and  
save, the All– Father shield and save!  
Let the Queen live for ever, live for ever,  
Let the Queen live for ever!  
To her, to her, to her beneath whose stedfast  
star From pole to pole in lusty play Her  
English wander, forcing far Their  
worldingath'ring way;  
Out– soar the Cæsar's eagle flight,  
the Cæsar's eagle flight,  
Flash, flash from the flamy Northern night  
Speech to the Austral main:  
To her, to her whose patient, patient eyes  
have seen Man's knowledge wax thro' ebb and  
flow, Till some have felt Wind of the Spirit,  
Wind of the Spirit blow; Tho' some,  
heartworn with doubt and strife,  
Would bid the doomful thunder fall,  
Bind as with bands, with bands the cosmic Life,  
And dream, dream the end of all: Beyond,  
beyond their wisdom's bound, Thro' fairer  
realms  
the Queen  
shall roam, Till soul with soul the Wife hath  
found Her mysticwedded home her  
mystic– wedded home: While her longrumoured  
glories stir,  
while her longrumoured glories stir The blue  
tide's earthengirdling wave, While her  
longrumoured glories stir The blue tide's  
earthengirdling wave, While her longrumoured  
glories stir, While her longrumoured glories  
stir The blue tide, the blue tide's

for ever!  
To her, to her beneath whose stedfast star  
From pole to pole in lusty play her English  
wander, forcing far Their worldingath'ring

Outrun, outrun the Macedonian reign,  
Flash, flash from the flamy Northern night  
Speech to the Austral main:  
To her, to her whose patient eyes have seen

While her longrumoured glories stir The blue  
tide's earthen_ girdling wave,  
With love, with life, her Prince and her The  
AllFather shield and save shield and save!  
Let the Queen live for ever, live for ever,  
Let the Queen live for ever!
