And so, though altered Mordred came less oft,

And winter frowned where spring had laughed before

In his strange eyes, yet half her sadness doffed,

And in her silent patience loved him more:

Sorrow had made her soft heart yet more soft,

And a new life within her own she bore

Which made her tenderer, as she felt it move

Beneath her breast, a refuge for her love. 360
