Oh gentle and beguiling
Prince
Why do'st thee hang thine
head?
Do'st thou in memory roam
the field
And in horror count your
dead?
Those faces with their
sightless eyes,
Do they haunt thy sleeping
cot?
Do their broken bodies
fail to rise
In your defence of Camelot?
They once rose and followed
in your wake
Beneath banners red and
gold,
To allow thee thy revenge
to take
On enemies who got too
bold.
But who now will avenge
the dead
That lie scattered on
this field?
Who will ensure the widows,
bread,
When the harvest's at
low yeild?
Oh gentle and unsmiling
Prince
Curtail thy need to roam,
Thy people and thy Kingdom
Now need thy strength
at home!

Arthur's Field |
