The poetical works of Henry Alford

Fifth edition, containing many pieces now first collected

expand section 

With mourning stole and solemn step,

The mort d' Arthur.


Up that same seaward hill,
There moved of ladies and of knights
A company sad and still;
There went before an open bier,
And, sleeping in a charm,
With face to heaven and folded palms,
There lay an armèd form.
