Æthelstan King Of Albion Poem by Clive Culverhouse

Æthelstan King Of Albion

when Merlin
knelte to Æthelstan
he bid'th wealthe
acrosse the lande
an' lo thy King
giveth his hande
presidin' o'er all Albion

from Alfred
in whose shadowe ran
emerg'd the court
of Æthelstan
an' on to rule
the state-ly man
for all the souls of Albion

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Æthelstan King Of Albion poem by Clive Culverhouse. Written in a style reminsicent of ancient English times. He was a real Anglo-Saxon king around the time of Merlin and Albion is an old name for England. I don't claim it to be exactly historically accurate but poetic liscence allows I think.
