When something is done because something has to be done, nothing is done.

The golden beam bids you come


The bells have rang, her morning has come
the ears hear the cheers
the waters of Thames blessing her soul, even the dew of heaven
Albion Kings and Queens born and gone

on your shoulders and laps another like you will lie
Arms that held her high never get tired
while lisping speech remains
and crawling limbs stand not on their own

We hail you, even the womb and that strong arm
for making you fourth in succession, in the realm
From the white hall come                                                   
even from the Court of Saint James

Come England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland
Come hither come hither from far and beyond
We’ve seen her majesty, Charlotte Elizabeth Diane
Princess of the realm where the sun never sets
