Fallen Majesty
Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face, And even old mens eyes grew dim, this hand alone, Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping place, Babbling of fallen majesty, records whats gone. The lineaments, a heart that laughter has made sweet, These, these remain, but I record whats gone. A crowd Will gather, and not know it walks the very street Whereon a thing once walked that seemed a burning cloud.
