Scotland\'s fair maiden,
A most formidable, courageous Queen,
Beautiful, tall and majestic,
The fairest of them all ever seen.
A political pawn in the battle for the English throne,
Used by others for their evil gain and lust for power,
A thorn in Elizabeth\'s I side,
Two queens at war, their battle growing bloodier by the hour.
A female ruler in a man\'s world,
Married to the ambitious Lord Darnley, heartless and cruel,
Mother to a beloved son James,
Her Scottish reign, a hotbed of violence, murder and corruption cut short her tragic rule.
Banished in exile,
Imprisoned indefinitely without any sign of release,
Wishing always only for love and sisterhood from her cousin Elizabeth,
England and Scotland deadlocked, without any peace.
Her death warrant signed, sealed and delivered,
The axeman\'s blade fell upon her pretty head,
She lived on in her son, the future King James I of England.
Scotland and England now united under his reign instead.
