Is to their farthest caverns sent;

Parts of a single continent!

Now round us spreads the watery plain

Oh might our marges meet again!

"Nay, hush, my sister:

I ate and ate my fill,

Yet my mouth waters still;

To-morrow night I will

Buy more;"

She thanked men-good! but thanked

Somehow I know not how as if she ranked

My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name

With anybody's gift. Who'd stoop to blame

This sort of trifling?

And moving thro' a mirror clear

That hangs before her all the year,

Shadows of the world appear.

There she sees the highway nea

Winding down to Camelot
