The queen sits on her throne
a chair of shambles
of sticks and twigs
all the Lord could give

A fight for freedom
from violent king
jealous untrusting
the root of the thing

Her robe of borrowed cloth, lace and fur
destination and kingdom, unknown for sure

and where she goes
is where she spent
her mind for peace
she goes
she went

Control she has
her kingdom traveling
this woman, this knave
a sorrowful lass

Sometimes the queen just has to get out.

Nicely done!
