Excerpt from By Severn Sea: And Other Poems

Lady whose orbed sovereignty
By many a land and every sea
Ties half the globe with empery,

Who asked of Heaven the better part,
A Wise And understanding Heart,
And gained long life and ruling art;

Now when her flowers a nation flings,
Now When the world Its Greeting Brings,
And with acclaim a planet rings:

One bloom her cloister-garden bears.
One echo of her chanted airs.
Your College of the Lily dares

On this twice crowned crowning day
That sums the cycles of your sway
Loyally at your feet to lay.
