The proud Queen sits stately on Windsor’s green lawn, | |||
Her ladies at croquet are playing; | Her ladies at croquet are playing; | ||
She watches their game as the evening creeps on, | She watches their game as the evening creeps on, | ||
And smiles as the balls go a-straying. | And smiles as the balls go a-straying. | ||
They roll through the wickets; the arches are passed, | They roll through the wickets; the arches are passed, | ||

Instead of the red ball, is throwing | Instead of the red ball, is throwing | ||
A babe’s gory head, which comes rolling, to fall | A babe’s gory head, which comes rolling, to fall | ||
At her feet, with its lifeblood still flowing! | At her feet, with its lifeblood still flowing! | ||

The head of a babe, pinched with torture and white— | |||
And its golden locks dabbled with gore; | And its golden locks dabbled with gore; | ||
The lips speak reproach, though the eyes lack their sight— | The lips speak reproach, though the eyes lack their sight— | ||
Till the Queen shrieks: “Torment me no more!” | Till the Queen shrieks: “Torment me no more!” | ||
She calls her physician to come to her aid, | She calls her physician to come to her aid, | ||

No, no, haughty Queen, though that stain is still wet, | No, no, haughty Queen, though that stain is still wet, | ||
