That to his subject lends not some small glory;

Somewhere in sweet Seville;
Not they for me were fair enough,
And so his Majesty
Declared his daughter--'tis no scoff!

This, this a

man can do,
Sail against rocks, and split them too;
Ay, and a world of pikes pass through.

The steel decks rock with the
lightning
shock, and shake with
the great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches
for his spoil--
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind
the guns!

Another wish'd, mid that eternal spring,
To meet his rosy child, with feathery sails,
Sweeping, eye-earnestly, through almond vales: 380
Who, suddenly, should stoop through the smooth wind,
And with the balmiest leaves his temples bind;
And, ever after, through those regions be
His messenger, his little Mercury,
Some were athirst in soul to see again
Their fellow
huntsmen
o'er the wide champaign
In times long past; to sit with them, and talk
Of all the chances in their earthly walk;
Comparing, joyfully, their plenteous stores
Of happiness, to when upon the moors, 390
Benighted, close they huddled from the cold,
And shar'd their famish'd scrips.

II
Sir Launfal turned from his own hard gate, 250
For another heir in his earldom sate;
An old, bent man, worn out and frail,
He came back from seeking the Holy Grail;
Little he recked of his earldom's loss,
No more on his surcoat was blazoned the cross,
But deep in his soul the sign he wore,
The badge of the
suffering
and the poor.

Were it not that his art's glory, full of fire
Till the dark
communal
moment all of ash,
Returns as proud evening's glow lights the glass,
To the fires of the pure mortal sun!
