1. The Sea-Fairies
Slow sailed the weary mariners and saw,
Betwixt the green brink and the running foam,
Sweet faces, rounded arms and bosoms prest
To little harps of gold…
2. The Song of King Arthur’s Knights
Blow trumpet, for the world is white with May;
Blow trumpet, for the long night hath roll’d away!
Blow through the living world—“Let the King reign…”
3. The Golden Year
We sleep and wake and sleep but all things move;
The Sun flies forward to his brother Sun;
The dark Earth follows wheel’d in her ellipse;
And human things returning on themselves…
—Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809‒1892)
