For Katrina’s Window

This is the window’s message,

In silence, to the Queen:

“Thou hast a double kingdom

And I am set between:

Look out and see the glory,

On hill and plain and sky:

Look in and see the light of love

That nevermore shall die!”

Window in the Queen’s high tower,

This shall be thy magic power!

Shut the darkness and the doubt,

Shut the storm and conflict, out;

Wind and hail and snow and rain

Dash against thee all in vain.

Let in nothing from the night⁠—

Let in every ray of light!
