Question

from \morte darthur\
by alfred, lord tennyson
so all day long the noise of battle rold
among the mountains by the winter sea;
until king arthurs table, man by man,
had falln in lyonness about their lord.
king arthur then, because his wound was deep,
the bold sir bedivere uplifted him,
sir bedivere, the last of all his knights,
and bore him to a chapel nigh the field,
a broken chancel with a broken cross,
that stood on a dark strait of barren land.
on one side lay the ocean, and on one
lay a great water, and the moon was full.
then spake king arthur to sir bedivere:
\the sequel of to-day unsolders all
the goodliest fellowship of famous knights
whereof this world holds record. such a sleep
they sleep—the men i loved. i think that we
shall never more, at any future time,
delight our souls with talk of knightly deeds,
walking about the gardens and the halls
of camelot, as in the days that were.
i perish by this people which i made.
tho merlin sware that i should come again
to rule once more—but let what will be, be,
i am so deeply smitten thro the helm
that without help i cannot last till morn.
thou therefore take my brand excalibur,
which was my pride: for thou rememberest how
in those old days, one summer noon, an arm
rose up from out the bosom of the lake,
clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful,
holding the sword—and how i rowd across
and took it, and have worn it, like a king:
and, wheresoever i am sung or told
in aftertime, this shall be known: but now
sit on the ground, and let me feel thy hand.
the old order changeth, yielding place to new,
and god fulfils himself in many ways,
lest one good custom should corrupt the world.
comfort thyself: what comfort is in me?
i have lived my life, and that which i have done
may he within himself make pure! but thou,
if thou shouldst never see my face again,
pray for my soul. more things are wrought by prayer
than this world dreams of. wherefore, let thy voice
rise like a fountain for me night and day.
for what are men better than sheep or goats
that nourish a blind life within the brain,
if, knowing god, they lift not hands of prayer
both for themselves and those who call them friend?
for so the whole round earth is every way
bound by gold chains about the feet of god.
but now farewell. i am going to my rest.
in the deep bosom of the lake.
