First Line: We met that evening at the dance
Last Line: And you were lovely guinevere.
Subject(s): Dancing & Dancers


We met that evening at the dance,
And some one named us each to each,
As strangers who had never met,
But lo! as one held in a trance
I felt my spirit strive to reach
A life on other stages set.

I knew I loved you in some past,
Hark! clang of arms! A dagger's thrust!
The veil rolled off and all was clear,
The mystery was solved at last,
For I was Lancelot of the joust,
And you were lovely Guinevere.
