For this day’s game was notably not to be; |
|
Today was not for the King’s move or mine, |
|
But for the Bishop’s; and the board is empty. |
|
The words that I have waited for more days |
|
Than are to now my tallage of gray hairs |
|
Have come at last, and at last you are free. |
|
So, for a time, there will be no more war; |
|
And you are going home to Camelot.” |
|
|
“To Camelot?”… |
|
“To Camelot.” But his words |
|
Were said for no queen’s hearing. In his arms |
|
He caught her when she fell; and in his arms |
|
He carried her away. The word of Rome |
|
Was in the rain. There was no other sound. |
