Guinevere

Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892)


(From Idylls of the King) NOW thrice that morning Guinevere had climbed
The giant tower, from whose high crest, they say,
Men saw the goodly hills of Somerset,
And white sails flying on the yellow sea;
But not to goodly hill or yellow sea	5
Looked the fair Queen, but up the vale of Usk,
By the flat meadow.
