  Surprisingly nice poem
Sighs all round as the Poet Laureate, Andrew Motion, pops up with his lines on the Royal Wedding. But actually they are very touching, especially the last verse:

The heart which slips and sidles like a stream
Weighed down by winter-wreckage near its source -
But given time, and come the clearing rain,
Breaks loose to revel in its proper course.
