V.

  That sir Galahad found the Grail.

Up the quest again he took,

  Rode through wood and wave; Sought in many a mossy nook,

  Many a hermit-cave;

Sought until the evening red

  Sunk in shadow deep; Sought until the moonlight fled;

  Slept, and sought in sleep.

Where he wandered, seeking, sad,

  Story doth not say, But at length sir Galahad

  Found it on a day;

Took the Grail with holy hand,

  Had the cup of joy; Carried it about the land,

  Gleesome as a boy;

Laid his sword where he had found

  Boot for every bale, Stuck his spear into the ground,

  Kept alone the Grail.
