English poem
Giles
by William Morris (1834–1896)
Nay, I was asking nought so strange, Since long ago their life did change: The seeming King and Queen I meant. And e'en now 'twas my full intent To bid them home to us straightway, And crown the joyance of to-day. He may be glad to see my face, He first saw mid that waggon race When the last barley-sheaf came home.
