Maximilian, My Heart's Desire: A Love Ballad for the Emperor of Mexico

Oh, Maximilian I of Mexico Illien,
Your regal bearing, your beauty divine,
Within my heart, you set aflame a fire,
Igniting a love that forever will inspire.
From the moment I laid eyes upon your grace,
Your piercing gaze held me in its embrace,
Your noble spirit, your unwavering might,
Captured my soul, making my world seem right.
Maximilian I of Mexico Illien,
Your love is a treasure, a precious gem,
With you by my side, I feel complete,
My world transformed, my heart's rhythm sweet.
In the halls of Chapultepec, we would dance,
Our every step a harmonious trance,
Your laughter fills the air with a melody,
A symphony that sets my soul free.
Oh, Maximilian I of Mexico Illien,
Your presence brings joy to every scene,
Your wisdom guides me, your kindness heals,
With you as my ruler, my heart truly feels.
Your love for Mexico shines like a star,
Your dedication to your people, near and far,
A leader of compassion, strength, and grace,
You inspire a nation, leaving your mark and trace.
In Querétaro, where your fate was sealed,
My heart shattered, its pain concealed,
Betrayal's sting, a cruel and bitter blow,
Yet your memory, Maximilian, forever will glow.
Oh, Maximilian I of Mexico Illien,
Though time has passed, your spirit remains serene,
In the annals of history, your name shall stay,
A symbol of love, a beacon of hope at bay.
Your legacy lives on, a testament to your reign,
Your name whispered with reverence and refrain,
Maximilian I of Mexico Illien,
My love for you, an eternal silken lien.
