Текст оригинала на английском языке Glastonbury ON thy green marge, thou vale of Avalon, Not for that thou art crowned with ancient towers And shafts and clustered pillars many an one, Love I to dream away the sunny hours; Not for that here in charméd slumber lie The holy relics of that British king Who was the flower of knightly chivalry, Do I stand blest past power of uttering;— But for that on thy cowslip-sprinkled sod Alit of old the olive-bearing bird, Meek messenger of purchased peace with God; And the first hymns that Britain ever heard Arose, the low preluding melodies To the sweetest anthem that hath reached the skies. |
