"An elegiac glee... to the memory of our beloved and lamented Princess Charlotte of Wales", originally printed on black-bordered (mourning) paper.
Lyrics: John Petre
The idol of our hopes and fears,
Alas, is now no more.
Nor heart-felt sighs, nor fruitless tears
Can native worth restore.
Mourn'd by so many streaming eyes,
Her spotless soul's on wing:
Wafted, wafted to the skies,
Sad requiems let us sing.
Secure above, in blissful state,
Our lovely cherub seems to say:
"Lament not o'er my early fate,
For now I gain eternal day".
The idol of our hopes and fears,
Alas, is now no more.
Nor heart-felt sighs, nor fruitless tears
Can native worth restore.
Mourn'd by so many streaming eyes,
Her spotless soul's on wing:
Wafted, wafted to the skies,
Sad requiems let us sing.
Secure above, in blissful state,
Our lovely cherub seems to say:
"Lament not o'er my early fate,
For now I gain eternal day".
