I am ever the Queen, never the mistress.
Found my way into the heart of the people
and they wear the emblem of our country on their chest, a bright green proclaimation.
They kneel but never in a permanent bow, for I want no statues in my garden obscuring the growth of the blossoms.
Regard me with politeness and step not out of line.
I will not fall asleep on my throne though I may dream of having softer hands.
I will not turn to wearing shorter dresses.
Let the best man win, but know this I am ever the Queen and never the mistress.
