Answers

When I set out for Lyonnesse,
A hundred miles away...
The reader learns that the trip will cover about 100 miles by train. Initially, the poetic speaker was lonely, probably dreading his time away from home and his comforts. On the other hand, no fortune teller or magician could have foretold what would happen while he was there. The speaker can hardly believe what occurred himself.
Nor did the wisest wizard guess
What would bechance at Lyonnesse
While I should sojourn...
