In love for Launcelot and his Queen. With that

Sir Bedivere departed; but so loth

That soon he came again, and lo! the King

Was no more there, but in the place was sound

He knew not whether of water or in the air,

A music new to mortals, and the smell

As of flowers floating through the dark, as if

The passing of that spirit sweetened earth.

And he remembered how it was foretold

That three sad Queens should fetch King Arthur home
