Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Knights & Knighthood; Love
And where that hoar recluse was wont to pray,
The hillock of his everlasting rest
Rose moist and miry from the new-turn'd clay—
Not long had he rejoin'd the meek and blest.
At that lone shrine the knight his love did lay,
His crimson cloak about her silence press'd.
Then unto the Great King and Lord of all
In utter desolation did he call.
