Galahad was in the night	W

Hid from bright beholding sun	X
Hid from moonlight wan	Y
Lo from age long darkness won	X
It was seen of man	Z

Three feet off on cushioned moss	A2
As if cast away	C
Homely wood with carven cross	A2
Rough and rude it lay	C

To his knees the knight rose up	B2
Loosed his gauntlet band	S

Tis a dream of holy men	J2
This ideal Best	E2

Every good for miracle	K2
Heart devout may hold	E2
Grail indeed was that fair well	L2
Full of water cold	E2

Not my thirst alone it stilled	E2

Spectral church with cryptic niche	M2
I will seek no more	T
That the holiest Grail is which	M2
Helps the need most sore	T

And he spake with speech more true	T
Than his thought indeed	E2
For not yet the good knight knew	T
His own sorest need	E2

Never more from drinking deep	N2
Rose he up and laughed	E2
Never more did prayerful sleep	N2
Follow on the draught	E2

Good the water which they bore	T
Plenteously it flowed	E2
Quenched his thirst but ah no more	T
Eased his bosom's load	E2

Rode as in a trance	O2
Life grew poor undignified	E2
And he spake of chance	O2

Wilds he wandered with his staff	A
Woods no longer sad	E2
Earth and sky and sea did laugh	A
Round sir Galahad	E2

Bitter mere nor trodden pool	V2
Did in service fail	B
Water all grew sweet and cool	V2
In the Holy Grail	B

Every rock a tent	E2
