My Land

In my land that is yet to come
I shall have eagle eyes,
and with them survey all that I have done
but nothing will I spy.
 
There, I shall have lots of praises
lauded on my head,
but such it is in those kind of places
I shall hear nothing said.
 
There, I shall have my own kingdom
or, as empress hold court,
and keep my subjects in thralldom
but tongue will utter nought.
 
There I shall bask in the warmest rays
of sunshine, never seen,
this light will shine for all my days
but where? I cannot dream...
