Subject: From Windsor... With Love
From Windsor.. With Love
I
Once upon a time
By the banks of the Hudson
Spotted a Prince a rose
An arresting siren
By the Hudson seen.
A red, red rose
An arresting presence
In repose and serene
II
Pledged to pluck, the prince
To the Windsor Gardens
The arresting rose
To the serenity of repose
III
And the fullness of time
portends the harvest of love
portends the redemption of pledges
In the sunlit glitter
In the byways of the Windsor Gardens
IV
Whence thronged heels
Revolving around honed heels
A princely pledge to celebrate
In that heady mix of colours
V
From Cambridge to Sussex
Passions in excess
From the four winds
Of the orb.
From the ebb of the Hudson
To the flow of the Thames
From sway of Osun
To the flow of the Thames
Rapturous over the bridge
And they say:
Ain't no Black
In the Union Jack.
VI
From the thunder of the Niger
To the swell of the Tyne & Wear
From the roar of the Mississippi
To the swell of the Tyne & Wear
And they say:
Ain't no Black
In the Union Jack
VII
Festivities in the Windsor Gardens
Whence diverse heels throng
In riotous colours
Espied from castle crenellations
Of the Windsors
A birds eye view
Of that heady mix of colours.
Accentuated by this
Black in the Union Jack
This newly added Windsor
