Arthurian Legend Final Part

The battle for the kingdom was so intense dead bodies were used to build defence In the end few people survived King Arthur, Mordred and Sir Bedivere ‘sighed Now Arthur had forgot his enchanted sword Excalibur, his mighty reward He battled with Mordred in single combat but was fatally wounded from Mordred’s attack Mordred lay dead upon the ground and Arthur’s blood from his wound streamed down He ordered Bedivere to get Excalibur from the palace and throw it back in the lake, for his malice Now Arthur asked “what did you see” Bedivere answered, “nothing I promise thee” So Arthur asked him twice more on the third time he replied, “a hand I saw” As he lie dying three queens appeared and carried him off to a boat, with tears They rowed him away with a cry and a song to stay forever in Avalon Never was there a sovereign of Briton As King Arthur, his legend and tales, still written He formed the Knights of the Round Table Gathered together friends and fables Kyng Arthur and the twenty four Sir Galahallt, Sir Launcelot Deulake, Sir Gauen, Sir Percyvale, Sir Lyonell, Sir Trystram Delyens, Sir Garethe, Sir Bedwere, Sir Blubrys, Sir Lacotemale Tayle, Sir Lucane, Sir Plomyde, Sir Lamorak, Sir Bors De Ganys, Sir Safer, Sir Pelleus, Sir Kay, Sir Ectorde Marys, Sir Dagonet, Sir Degore, Sir Brumear, Sir Lybyus Dysconyus, Sir Alynore, Sir Mordrede © Copyright 30th December 2010 K.C.Leake
