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.
