Answer:
Stanza 1
When I set out for Lyonnesse
A hundred miles away,
The rime was on the spray;
And starlight lit my lonesomeness
When I set out for Lyonnesse
A hundred miles away.
In this stanza we see that the poet set out for Lyonnesse which was situated a hundred miles away. It was winter and the weather was cold. The shine in the night sky helped him when he was lonely. He had no idea what would happen during his stay at Lyonnesse.
stanza 2
What would bechance at Lyonnesse
While I should sojourn there,
No prophet durst declare;
Nor did the wisest wizard guess
What would bechance at Lyonnesse
While I should sojourn there.
In this stanza, the poet expresses his unsurity about what would happen at Lyonnesse. He says that he doesn’t know what awaits him at Lyonnesse. The poet says that even a prophet or a ‘wisest wizard’ would fail to predict the experience accurately and vividly.
stanza 3
When I returned from Lyonnesse
With magic in my eyes,
All marked with mute surmise
My radiance rare and fathomless,
When I returned from Lyonnesse
With magic in my eyes.
In this stanza the poet describes what happened on his return. On his return from the parish, people noticed two things about him- a new glow in his eyes and a crumpled piece of paper sticking out of his coat pocket.
