Explore "On the Death of Leopold, King of the Belgians" by Charles Kingsley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A King is dead! Another master mind / Is summoned from the world-wide council hall.
Ah, for some seer, to say what links behind -- / To read the mystic writing on the wall!
Be still, fond man: nor ask thy fate to know.
Face bravely what each God-sent moment brings.
Above thee rules in love, through weal and woe, / Guiding thy kings and thee, the King of kings.
Windsor Castle, / November 10, 1865.
