“I look at you and I enjoy it ever

You are so beautiful, no words can tell!

Oh! I am sure that such beauty hosts

A soul that is wonderful as well.

The depth of modesty and quiet sorrow

Is in your eyes of beauty so pure

You are as serene as an angel;

And as a lady, gentle and demure.

Amidst the many earthly sins and evils

Let nothing blur the pure soul of thine,

And let us all sing praises to the Creator

Who gave such beauty to a soul divine!”

— poem for Grand Duchess Elizaveta Feodorovna by Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich of Russia (KR)
