Queen Guennivar's Round, by Robert Stephen Hawker [1869]

QUEEN GUENNIVAR'S ROUND

by

ROBERT STEPHEN HAWKER


I.
Naid for Grecian waters!
Nymph for the fountain-side!
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
For gay Dundagel's tide.

II.
The wild wind proudly gathers
Round the ladies of the land;
And the blue wave of their fathers
Is joyful where they stand.

III.
Naiad for Grecian waters!
Nymph for the foutain-side!
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
For gray Dundagel's tide.

IV.
Yes! when memory rejoices
In her long-belovèd theme,
Fair forms and thrilling voices
Will mingle with my dream.

V.
Naiad for Grecian waters!
Nymph for the foutain-side!
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
For gray Dundagel's tide.
