Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace
The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase
Sparkles on fingers, slender and pale.

The Jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps
Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain

Maroon—coloured wine from the vineyards of Charlemagne
Is sipped by the Queen's lips and so gently
Indigo eyes in the flickering candlelight
Such is the silence o'er Royal Camelot.

The Jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps
Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain

Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace
The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase
Sparkles on her fingers both slender and pale.

The Jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps
Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain.
