MARY ADELAIDE
(Duchess of Teck, 1833-1897, Queen Mary's Mother)
Two early autograph poems in German, with transcription and translation,
in the first Mary Adelaide contrasts the departure of the lark in winter with that of her own love, "The lark ... gently sings Adieu! Do you wish a word from me, Before I leave you? Here, the tear that welled up for you ... says The lark has her song, Tears she has none", 2 verses of 4 lines, in the second she talks of the dew drop, "... you love your little flower so loyally, As I indeed wish one day to love", parting every day and returning at evening, until the flower "dies in the burning sun, So you too die ... I look on you and ponder still What such a blessed death must be", 1 side album leaf 10¼" x 8¼", Malton (Yorkshire), 6th February
