Gawked through a perched window
 Into middle of city, downtown perhaps.
 Freedom and independence, he craved,
 Jaded of cosseting and seclusion. 4

 She alighted the lofty pinnacle,
 The imperial pantry of majesty.
 Striding to the big factual world
 From the cloud of a utopia height. 8

 Crown and monarchy set on errand,
 Never explain, might not complain.
 The troubles of the poor to feel,
 The pants of the peckish to reel. 12

 The dark side of light, opaque!
 The palate of sun’s scorches,
 And the dreaded cold of winter.
 Harshest choice made in Sussex. 16

 Vacates the proletariats’ perspiration,
 Gambles from fortress to boulevards
 Regal codes and colors hanged in closets
 A surprise that crouched the queen. 20

 Voyage to a branded wilderness,
 May be delighted in my privacy.
 The quirky turn of history and culture,
 Adieu! royalty and dynasty. 24
