This is the window's message, / In silence, to the Queen: / "Thou hast a double kingdom / And I am set between: / Look out and see the glory, / On hill and plain and sky: / Look in and see the light of love / That nevermore shall die!"
L'Envoi / Window in the Queen's high tower, / This shall be thy magic power!
Shut the darkness and the doubt, / Shut the storm and conflict, out; / Wind and hail and snow and rain / Dash against thee all in vain.
Let in nothing from the night --
Let in every ray of light!
