In Brittany there lived a stainless knight, In gentleness no maid could tenderer be, Yet mark him moving thro' the press of fight And none more terrible in arms than he. The strong are ever sparing of their might— Mercy the radiant child on Valour's knee. And as in war his courage none assail'd, In peace his counsel more and more prevail'd. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PERSPECTIVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE RAINY SEASON by CLARENCE MAJOR |
