The recording used is from the album "The Widow's Uniform" (REAL CD 0101). Lyrics: Rudyard Kipling ("Barrack Room Ballads"). Music: Peter Bellamy. Full permissions obtained from the copyright holders.
Queen Victoria wore a black dress and white cap throughout her 40 years of widowhood but in Kipling the "widow's clothes" are her soldiers' uniforms. This poem records an ambivalence of attitude on the part of the "beggars in red" towards their Queen Empress, though rumours that the Queen was offended by the poem are probably untrue. She was well capable of being flattered by the subjects' apparent devotion - "morituri te salutant"!
