Anne Bolyen was her name

The king's love for her inflame

A divorce was requested

England protested

Broke from the church of Rome

Catalina now alone

Anne promised to give the king a son

And yet there was none

Infatuated by Jane Seymour

The king hated Anne Forevermore

Imprisoned for crimes she did not commit

She did submit

To her husbands hatred

She faded

Eager to die

She didn't have to ask why

She walks to the scaffold like a true queen

She did not make a scene

In her final moments

She asked for condolence

As she kneeled down

She did not denounce

The husband who had her killed

Her purpose fulfilled

Elizabeth disinherited

Elizabeth dispirited

Elizabeth in poverty

Because of the kings animosity

At thirteen Elizabeth is keen

To be free

At fourteen she is almost violated

Therefore, Thomas Seymour is annihilated

At twenty she is imprisoned by her sister
Who was bitter

Elizabeth in fear for her life

As her sister causes strife


Released from the tower on the day her mother did die

She still did deny

The rebellion against her sister

Who was a spinster

At twenty-five she is surprised when her sister dies

Elizabeth does rise


Innocent Queen, Innocent Daughter

Separated during the mother's slaughter

Mother cries

Mother Dies

Daughter lives

Daughter thrives

Mother is content

When her blood is well spent

Husband wanted a son

Daughter was the one

Greatest queen is she

Edward could never compare to thee

Mother cries

Mother Dies

Daughter lives

Daughter thrives

Father is furious

Mother is victorious

Father Sins

Mother wins

If only father knew

Elizabeth would be queen of true
