Queen Lucy, Valiant Lucy, roam'd the valleys, hills, and shores;
Within her satchel she did bear sweet instruments, not swords,
And through the Narnian countryside did hymns to Aslan ring,
And joy and happiness and love she to her realm did bring.
0
But when in time of war she had to lay aside the lute
And use instead the bow, and take her dagger for the flute,
In battle sore her Valiance show'd, and after on the field
Her joy and love were shower'd through her cordial's power that heal'd.

King Edmund, call'd the Just one, did the Court of Narnia lead,
Shone Justice mix'd with Mercy onto ev'ry darken'd deed.
But when his land was threaten'd by an unjust, evil host,
He could negotiate a truce—nor blood nor freedom lost.
0
But when all such negotiations were not answer'd thus,
And war upon his peaceful land was without mercy thrust,
Then on its violators he his Justice did unleash,
And they who had before refus'd it now him sued for peace.

Queen Susan, Gentle Susan, from the day her reign did start,
To hurt and griev'd and needy open'd both her hand and heart.
When injur'd came that she her help and counsel would provide
The wrongers learned that to them, Gentle show'd a Sterner side.
0
When foes came and her siblings could this duty not perform,
She Sternly rode to war, plann'd battles, led with bow and horn;
But afterward, did comfort wounded, tend to those in pain,
And lovely Gentleness did grace her features once again.

King Peter, call'd Magnificent, the High King of the realm,
And not of subjects only, but all kings, past and to come.
By Aslan's grace he rul'd with wisdom, joy, and nobleness;
Inspired awe and love, show'd all respect, sought all to bless.
0
When war did come he wielded Rhindon sword and Lion shield;
In shining armor gave true confidence on battle-field;
"For Narnia, and for Aslan," then were skill and courage shown,
And tales of his Magnificence throughout the world were known.

A/N: This is my first posting on this site, although I have enjoyed reading off it for quite some time. I chose this, because as of now I feel myself a better poet than fiction writer. Please do leave me some feedback!
