Her majesty the queen of
Romania ("Carmen Sylva") has written the following verses in
commemoration of the establishment of the "Tiny Tim" Cot in the Royal
Portsmouth Hospital of London:
I love him
so for all the good
   His soul was wont
to see
In
wretched, torn, misunderstood,
   Unknown humanity.
In
the darkness he found light; in pain
   And error love
divine.
He taught
sad hearts to laugh again,
   And hidden gold to
shine.
He heard
the Christmas carols ring,
   He pitied moth and
snake,
And had a
song for ev'ry wing,
   And balm for ev'ry
ache!
Carmen Sylva.
