Calypso breezes
Imperial dreams[ch65533]
Velvet curtains
And golden beams
Flow from that window
Opened to past,
To bring its stories;
Show them at last!
[ch65533]
A poet girl
Appears now first.
Her eyes are starry blue,
Her hair is very fair,
Soft it is, and wavy
And floats in the clear air.
Her looks are a muse[ch65533]s:
Roses in one hand;
In the other one, a notebook:
Feelings, heart and mind.
-Her name was Olga.
[ch65533]
A graceful fairy girl
Comes now.
Her eyes are gray,
Her hair is dark.
She dances, artistic;
Sings with a lovely voice[ch65533]
Yet strong, like a goddess,
Her lance she can hoist.
Valiant she is, and selfless;
Well balanced; a nurse.
-She was Tatiana.
[ch65533]
Then hurries an angel girl,
So darling, pure and sweet,
To wave and kindly send a kiss,
Her dreams again to meet.
Her massive hair, so bright and soft,
Is moving while she smiles with joy.
Her dark blue big eyes show the love
Of a young lady with a mother[ch65533]s hope.
-Her name, Maria.
[ch65533]
The youngest girl
[ch65533]comes jumping now.
She[ch65533]s fun, the actress,
The imp, the clown.
Her smile is roguish,
Her eyes, two stars;
Her frown is clever,
Her mind, the sky.
She laughs and giggles,
A spark lights her face.
She runs then, in hurry,
A new joke to play.
-That was Anastasia.
[ch65533]
And last, the hoped one,
The boy, the Heir;
The brave young fighter,
The son brought by fate.
He looks so dashing,
With those great blue eyes;
With an eagle[ch65533]s braveness,
Bold he stands and guards;
Yet with the most tender
And loving good heart.
-He was Alexei
[ch65533]
These five were the children
That had the last crowned Tsar:
Four lovely young flowers
And the brightest star.
Tragedy once caught them,
And death, and despise[ch65533]
Yet they tell the secrets
Once concealed by time[ch65533]
And Heaven with mercy
And Grace upon them
Restores their souls
And mementoes again[ch65533]
