His visions of Arthurian romance and medieval design also inspired William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. Neither Burne-Jones nor Morris knew Rossetti, but were much influenced by his works, and met him by recruiting him as a contributor to their "Oxford and Cambridge Magazine" which Morris founded in 1856 to promote his ideas about art and poetry.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti one of his "Three Songs" (1926), Rossetti's poem "The One Hope" from "Poems" (1870).

One song in that cycle, Silent Noon, is one of Vaughan Williams's best known and most frequently performed songs.
