And wore them all that evening in my hair..

With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

There she sees the highway near
Winding down to Camelot.”

I will find out where she has gone,
& kiss her lips & take her hands;
& walk among long dappled grass,
& pluck till time & times are done,
