White Stag

A Legend Shining  (c) David Crawford Bixby

King of the Britons so it was told,

Centuries ago in the days of old;

Arthur was King in ancient times,

His coming seen in celestial signs.

Arthur betrayed by weakness within,

For he had committed a mortal sin;

Fought and struck down by his own,

He was taken to the isle of Avalon.

Slumbers long in the mystical mist,

Arthur’s not dead he still does exist;

They say one day his return we’ll see,

In the hour of Britain’s greatest need
