English poem
Ii
by Louis Vintras (1864–1934)
Alone in her darkened room at night Robed in white, Sitting for hours in a high-backed chair, Stately and fair, With flashing eyes and lips proudly curled, In thought she’s queen of a beautiful world, Projecting, through a mental prism, Her dream of power and pride of race-- The outcome of some royal atavism, Impossible to trace.
