Queen Guennivar's Round
From The Poetical Works (1899)
Naiad for Grecian waters !
Nymph for the fountain-side !
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
For grey Dundagel's tide.
The wild wind proudly gathers
Round the ladies of the land ;
And the blue wave of their fathers
Is joyful where they stand.
Naiad for Grecian waters !
Nymph for the fountain-side !
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
For grey Dundagel's tide.
Yes ! when memory rejoices
In her long beloved theme,
Fair forms and thrilling voices
Will mingle with my dream.
Naiad for Grecian waters !
Nymph for the fountain-side
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
For grey Dundagel's tide.
