The Tale of King Arthur and Excalibur
In days of old, in a kingdom bright,
A boy named Arthur claimed his right.
From stone and steel, a sword did rise,
Excalibur gleamed beneath the skies.
Only the true king could wield its might.
Arthur was chosen by ancient rite.
He pulled the sword, the crowd held still.
A future king, shaped by fate’s will.
A destiny forged, a kingdom’s shield,
With Excalibur, no man would yield.
King Arthur, with his sword so bold,
Led Camelot’s knights, with hearts of gold.
Through his reign, the shadows grew,
Betrayal, love, and war he knew.
The Lady of the Lake watched close and near,
Gifting the sword, both sharp and clear.
Arthur, noble, yet his heart did break,
For Guinevere’s love, his fate at stake.
Lancelot’s loyalty, a double-edged blade,
In love and war, the price was paid.
But in the end, as legends go,
The king would fall, but not in woe.
For in Avalon, where heroes rest,
Arthur’s soul would find its quest.
King Arthur, with his sword so bold,
Led Camelot’s knights, with hearts of gold.
The sword of legend, the man of lore,
The tale of Arthur forevermore.
From sword to crown, from knight to king,
The rise of Camelot still we sing.
