QUEEN GUENNIVAR'S ROUND.
Naiad for Grecian waters!
Nymph for the fountain-side!
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
For grey Dundagel's tide.
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.
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.
Nymph for the fountain-side!
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
For grey Dundagel's tide.
Yes! when memory rejoices
In her long belovèd theme,
Fair forms and thrilling voices
Will mingle with my dream.

Fair forms and thrilling voices
Will mingle with my dream.

Nymph for the fountain-side
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
For grey Dundagel's tide.

But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
For grey Dundagel's tide.
