Her Mirror

Her mirror showed her royalty and elegance and care,
Her face was made-up perfectly; her dress was haute couture,
Tiara jewels sparkled in her formally styled hair,
A shiny chain around her neck, a sparkling solitaire,

Her evenings filled with Mozart, and gaiety, an air
Of beauty and enchantment and laughter everywhere,
Young gentlemen availed themselves and flocked around her chair,
She waltzed with lively vigor, and a manner debonair,

She had confidence and ease at an elegant affair,
Her smile was warm and friendly; people could not help but stare,
Her touching conversation and her honest sense of care,
Put her subjects at their ease, and made them love her more,

She was exquisite and graceful, she was flowing, she was rare,
In her daydream was an image of a well-appointed heir,
A beautiful young princess in her mind she did appear,
A lovely apparition that her mirror showed most clear.
