On the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Saddest peals of mourning
A nations’ greatest loss
Ten days slowly turning
Deaths fateful step we cross
Elizabeth our dear queen
Has passed from light to dark
Entering the eternal stream
Her gracious life we mark
Service of a devoted life
Praiseworthy to the last
Her reign banished all strife
All flags now at half-mast
We remember her glory
Trustworthy to the end
To her all songs laudatory
Each subject a dear friend
Royal standard never drops
To a new king we cheer
Noble time never stops
Look forward to a new year
