Now since mine even is come at last	A
For I have been the sport of steel	B
And hot life ebbeth from me fast	A
And I in saddle roll and reel	B
Come bind me bind me on my steed	C
Of fingering leech I have no need	C
The chaplain clasped his mail egrave d knee	D
Nor need I more thy whine and thee	D
No time is left my sins to tell	E
But look ye bind me bind me well	E
They bound him strong with leathern thong	F
For the ride to the lady should be long	F
	-
Day was dying the poplars fled	G
Thin as ghosts on a sky blood red	G
Out of the sky the fierce hue fell	E
And made the streams as the streams of hell	E
All his thoughts as a river flowed	H
Flowed aflame as fleet he rode	H
Onward flowed to her abode	H
Ceased at her feet mirrored her face	I
Viewless Death apace apace	I
Rode behind him in that race	I
	-
Face mine own mine alone	J
Trembling lips my lips have known	J
Birdlike stir of the dove soft eyne	J
Under the kisses that make them mine	J
Only of thee of thee my need	C
Only to thee to thee I speed	C
The Cross flashed by at the highway's turn	J
In a beam of the moon the Face shone stern	J
	-
Far behind had the fight's din died	K
The shuddering stars in the welkin wide	K
Crowded crowded to see him ride	K
The beating hearts of the stars aloof	L
Kept time to the beat of the horse's hoof	L
What is the throb that thrills so sweet	M
Heart of my lady I feel it beat	M
But his own strong pulse the fainter fell	E
Like the failing tongue of a hushing bell	E
The flank of the great limbed steed was wet	N
Not alone with the started sweat	N
	-
Fast and fast and the thick black wood	O
Arched its cowl like a black friar's hood	O
Fast and fast and they plunged therein	J
But the viewless rider rode to win	J
	-
Out of the wood to the highway's light	P
Galloped the great limbed steed in fright	P
The mail clashed cold and the sad owl cried	K
And the weight of the dead oppressed his side	K
	-
Fast and fast by the road he knew	J
And slow and slow the stars withdrew	J
And the waiting heaven turned weirdly blue	J
As a garment worn of a wizard grim	Q
He neighed at the gate in the morning dim	Q
	-
She heard no sound before her gate	R
Though very quiet was her bower	S
All was as her hand had left it late	R
The needle slept on the broidered vine	J
Where the hammer and spikes of the passion flower	S
Her fashioning did wait	R
	-
On the couch lay something fair	T
With steadfast lips and veil egrave d eyne	J
But the lady was not there	T
On the wings of shrift and prayer	T
Pure as winds that winnow snow	J
Her soul had risen twelve hours ago	J
The burdened steed at the barred gate stood	O
No whit the nearer to his goal	U
Now God's great grace assoil the soul	U
That went out in the wood	O
