Yes, we are hers in love and truth. Long[8 may she live and reign.
Chorus
(Motions)
1—Baskets in left hands. Raise right hand high. 2—Right hand out, toward Queen. 3—Sink on one knee. 4—Right hand on heart. 5—Wave right hand high, through line. 6—Raise right hand high as possible, hold through line. 7—Hold baskets, in right hands, out toward Queen. 8—Raise baskets high, in right hand. In singing second chorus, they do not kneel. At 5, swing baskets, high, through line. At 6, raise them high to right. Hold to end of line. At close of song, they march in front of throne, and lay baskets on lower step of dais, leaving room for Queen to step from throne.
Queen.
Thank you, my maids. They are offerings rare.
Never were blossoms more sweet and fair.
But I somehow am sad on my natal day.
Third Maiden.
We will dance, to drive dull care away.
