Robert Stephen Hawker 180475To Alfred Tennyson
T
Caught from a tale gone by,
That Arthur, King of Cornish praise,
Died not, and would not die.
Their living warrior lies,
Or wears a garland of the flowers
That grow in Paradise.
And thus the myth I trace:—
A bard should rise, mid future men,
The mightiest of his race.
On gray Dundagel’s shore;
And so the King in laurell’d verse
Shall live, and die no more!
