Queen Elizabeth Speaks

Title:     Queen Elizabeth Speaks
Author: Joyce Kilmer [More Titles by Kilmer]

My hands were stained with blood, my heart was proud and cold,
My soul is black with shame . . . but I gave Shakespeare gold.
So after aeons of flame, I may, by grace of God,
Rise up to kiss the dust that Shakespeare's feet have trod.

[The end]
Joyce Kilmer's poem: Queen Elizabeth Speaks
