The last procession

 

The last procession


The finality of returning;

in procession She returns,

decorated like a present

for some special occasion.

The solemn funeral march,

the swirling mourning of pipes

and the occasional clash of bell,

mark her returning.


Windsor greets her,

the open tomb expects her,

and, crown and sceptre resigned,

peace awaits.
