Under the sun
Are these things new,
Or only so
To me and you?

Was April ever
Like this before?
Daffodils . . . swallows . . .
An open door . . .

Did Camelot's towers
Shine half so bright
As the far village
To our rapt sight?

Did Guinevere loose
In the warm south wind
Her golden hair
For her love to bind?

And did they kiss,
Then let the birds
Say on what couldn't
Be said in words?

Three thousand years
Or three days ago,
Did any one know
The things we know?
