When I set out for Lyonnesse,
A hundred away,
The rime was on the spray,
starlight lit my lonesomeness
When I set out Lyonnesse
A hundred miles away.
What would at Lyonnesse
While I should sojourn there
prophet durst declare,
Nor did the wisest wizard
What would bechance at Lyonnesse
While I sojourn there.
When I came back from Lyonnesse
With magic in my eyes,
All marked with surmise
My radiance rare and fathomless,
When came back from Lyonnesse
With magic in my eyes!
