The Return
Lo as well as Behold,
The King has Returned
to a Throne of Glory
to be Crowned a second time
during four measure as well as five,
heralding a new era
of goal as well as promise
against a ravage of age
as well as a tyranny of Time.
Of aged it hath been said
That a King is initial servant,
as well as initial magistrate
of a State;
as well as which Majesty
there is none so lofty
nor noble
as which of a moral King
who wields not a long knife of power,
though Reigns over a hearts of men,
with a sceptre of probity as well as a mantle of love.
The Return
of a Ruler
represents A Return
of a Rights to a Rakyat
for whom a Ruler represents
all which is Noble, Fair, Just as well as Right.
Returned He has,
As symbol
of a new Cycle
in a hold up of a Nation.
The millennial Return this might not be,
though a Return of Springtime this must be;
a fulfillment, a culmination
of dreams as well as vision.
A Return it is
to a feeling of well-being as well as ideals of Merdeka,
A Return it is
to a Dream of Freedom, and
A Return it is
to a Golden Age of Ancient Glory.
So Rejoice, Rejoice
O Ye People of a Land, Rejoice
For a King has returned,
Look within!
For He is Enthroned
in a Hearts of Men.
