"In Memoriam // KING EDWARD VII // Died May 6th 1910 // Queen Alexandra's Message to the British People // "From the depth of my poor broken heart I wish to express to the whole nation, // and our own kind people we love so well, my deepfelt thanks for all their touching sympathy // in my overwhelming sorrow and unspeakable anguish. // Not alone have I lost everything in him, my beloved husband, but the nation, too, // have suffered an irreparable loss by their best friend, father and sovereign thus // called away. May God give us all His divine help to bear this heaviest of crosses, // which He has seen fit to lay upon us. 'His will be done.' // Give to me a thought in your prayers which will comfort and sustain me in all that // I have to go through. Let me take this opportunity of expressing my heartfelt thanks // for all the touching letters and tokens of sympathy. I have received from all classes, high // and low, rich and poor which are so numerous that I feel it would be impossible for me // to thank everybody individually. // I confide my dear son to your care, who I know will follow in his dear father's // footsteps, begging you to show him the same loyalty and devotion you showed his dear // father. I know that both my dear son and daughter-in-law will do their utmost to merit // and keep it."Notes
