(The Mystic Gleaming)
A bright moon mingled its silver rays with the the faint fading daylight & the drizzling rain, & in a mystic gloaming the column of troops wheeled out of the town .& marched under the frowning walls of Amesbury Abbey, once on the the three principal monasteries of the Isle of Britain in the early days of Christian "which perpetuated the praise of God without without pa rest or intermission".
If the romatic story of Guinevere may be taken as history, it was, as Tennyson writes in his "Idylls of the King", to His holy house of Amesbury that the Queen fled from the Court of King Arthur, & where also he found her & bad her farewell.
