King Arthur and his court were blithe and gay / In high-towered Camelot, on Christmas day, / For all the Table Round were back again, / At peace with God and with their fellow-men.
Their shields hung idly on the pictured wall; / Their blood-stained banners decked the festal hall / Light footsteps, rustling on the rush-strewn floors, / And laughter, rippling down long corridors, / Attested minds at ease and hearts at play, -- / Rude Mars unharnessed for love's holiday.
