| “Whoso pulleth out this sword from this stone and anvil is the true born King of all Britain” | |
| Upon a New Year's day | |
| A host of knights did pray | |
| That from the anvil one could draw the sword. | |
| As each knight took his turn | |
| They found the anvil, held it firm | |
| None worthy of a future King and Lord | |
| Sir Kay the bravest knight | |
| Appeared to try his might | |
| He dreamed of being King, as all the rest | |
| To Arthur Sir Kay called to search | |
| And bring for him a sword | |
| In earnest Arthur set about his quest | |
| A churchyard in the wood | |
| The sword and anvil stood | |
| And Arthur drew the sword out of the stone | |
| The anvil now defeated | |
| His quest for the sword completed | |
| A sword that was to place him on the throne | |
| A sword that was to place him on the throne | |
| Sir Ector and Sir Kay | |
| Saw the sword and knelt to pray | |
| Then gently took it from young Arthur's hand | |
| They marvelled at his quest | |
| Proclaiming to the rest | |
| Arthur is the King of all this land | |
| Arthur the King of all this land |
