on her marriage with Albert of Prussia; 1876, in the investiture of the
Star of India by the Prince of Wales, in Calcutta, Dr. W. H. Russel

"Comrade, where wilt thou be to-night?
When the loosed storm breaks furiously?
My driftwood fire will burn so bright!
To what warm shelter can'st thou fly?
I do not fear for thee, 'though wroth
The tempest rushes through the sky.
