Caroline is noble in her heart.
A thousand years ago she'd be a queen:
Royal in her social grace and art,
Outside unblemished, inside all serene.
Lovers line the streets of her domain
In waiting for a glimpse of her affection.
No one but one shall that sweet gift retain,
Even as all stare at her perfection.
