Is mine; the length of all this gloomy land

Knows no more sun than falls from my white hand.

My wealth great kings have prayed for—in their pride,

Bowing before me. Nay—I hate the place.

I am no queen at heart—my laughter died

That I might wear my crown with regal grace

The very flowers which smile on my sad face

I am afraid of. See! they are the worst

Of all my fears; so fair—yet black accurst.

The languid passion-poppy sways and dips
