Princess Bride

Sleepy nation wakes the dawning,

Spies the bunting on each ledge,

Something special stirs the scent of

Incense wafting in the breeze.

 

Quick to dress in finery

To suit such glorious occasion,

Chins held high and chests puffed full

In maximum anticipation.

 

Four white horses lead the carriage

Fully draped in ceremony

As the trumpets sound the herald

Echoing glad tidings all.

 

Out she steps to breathless watchers,

Daintily her footfall glides,

Steadfastly her regal father

Leads his angel down the aisle.

 

Now she stands before the altar,

Nations watching, filled with pride,

And her young prince stands beside her

Proud to wed his princess bride.
