Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Queen Guennivar's Round


                     I.
Naid for Grecian waters!
   Nymph for the fountain-side!
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
   For gay Dundagel's tide.

                     II.
The wild wind proudly gathers
   Round the ladies of the land;
And the blue wave of their fathers
   Is joyful where they stand.

                     III.
Naiad for Grecian waters!
   Nymph for the foutain-side!
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
   For gray Dundagel's tide.

                     IV.
Yes! when memory rejoices
   In her long-belovèd theme,
Fair forms and thrilling voices
   Will mingle with my dream.

                     V.
Naiad for Grecian waters!
   Nymph for the foutain-side!
But old Cornwall's bounding daughters
   For gray Dundagel's tide.
