TO ANNA CHRISTIANA THE QUEEN GODDESS by Hamlet Frigid eyes that shine like a gemstone Callous eyes so cruel all alone Like a harsh deadly flower fully grown You stand like a hard heart of stone When others have forsaken their glory You remain in your power fierce and gory You rule with absolute power Your subjects you enslave and devour The priests allow seven sins to a nun But your sins they number a hundred and one Seven ages would never purify The sins that you gloat and glorify Terrible nights and dreaded tomorrows The pleasures of the flesh and their sorrows O mystical solemn in majesty O Queen Anna our Lady of Agony! Your dress so splendid and covered with gold O land where men are subdued and controlled O Ivory tower from heaven uphold O lethal rose so bitter and cold O palace of glory and eternal fire O Goddess of anguish and pain You rule with a passion that’s almost insane Your lips of lust so rampant with desire Wild snakes are fed from your breast And bite hard at your order’s behest You kiss with your lips that embrace Your subjects’ lips their feelings displace You own their bodies and permeate them with pleasure Their eyes long for your beauty you treasure No more thoughts of yesterday and tomorrow No more memories of pain and sorrow O wise lady who thrives abundantly O Anna our Lady of Agony Who gave you your wisdom and erudition? What beloved God bestowed your ambition? You were born pure uncontaminated in your condition What sins allowed you a new birth To establish a new Queendom on earth? Though others die You remain immortal As all yearn to enter Your Holy portal Love dies fruits wither and perish Yet you remain in the power that you relish You are blessed with a life eternal Your devotion everlasting and maternal You prosper with a vigour unending A Queen with all power uncomprehending O sweet sovereign of eternity O Queen Anna Lady of Agony Would you destroy with all your power Your subjects who submit and cower And trample each one like a delicate flower? You subdue all creation by the hour What new works will you discover? What new authority will you recover? What tortures previously unknown? Unwritten unheard of newly grown? What authority flows from your body? Whose caresses are so brutal and bloody. So loving in form and yet so vicious So constant and yet so capricious Your deadly kisses are like sharp fangs That creates such agony and awful pangs You flourish in a state of omnipotence Of complete authority and excellence O lady of such total potency O Anna Queen of Agony!
