The Thin White Queen is lost and lone
All thoughts of love forever flown
Bent on life she holds it fast
The vows she made will ever last.
But He holds her firm in a sound embrace
All other loves – gone now – to efface
The truth that the love of the Black King
Will make her true and never faltering.
It is a power far beyond her own
And He will sanctify her on the throne
Because she is faithful and a lover still
Of all that is true and strong in goodwill
Lost to this world – a certainty
Never to roam from His Holy See
Saved forever to never part again
From all that is right and true and amen.
Let not her failure shine through the gloom
May her love forever in glory bloom
Nothing lasts but the holy love
A gift returned from the Black King above.
