ALONE in the forest Sir Lancelot rode	A
O'er the neck of his courser the reins lightly flowed	A
And beside hung his helmet for bare was his brow	B
To meet the soft breeze that was fanning him now	B
	-
And 'the flowers of the forest' were many and sweet	C
Which crushed at each step by his proud courser's feet	C
Gave forth all their fragrance while thick over head	D
The boughs of the oak and the elm tree were spread	D
	-
The wind stirred its branches as if its low suit	E
Were urged like a lover who wakens the lute	E
And through the dark foliage came sparkling and bright	F
Like rain from the green leaves in small gems of light	F
	-
There was stillness not silence for dancing along	G
A brook went its way like a child with a song	G
Now hidden where rushes and water flags grow	H
Now clear while white pebbles were glistening below	H
	-
Lo bright as a vision and fair as a dream	I
The face of a maiden is seen in the stream	I
With her hair like a mantle of gold to her knee	J
Stands a lady as lovely as lady can be	J
	-
Short speech tells a love tale the bard's sweetest words	K
Are poor beside those which each memory hoards	L
Sound of some gentle whisper the haunting and low	H
Such as love may have murmured ah long long ago	H
	-
She led him away to an odorous cave	M
Where the emerald spars shone like stars in the wave	M
And the green moss and violets crowded beneath	N
And the ash at the entrance hung down like a wreath	N
	-
They might have been happy if love could but learn	O
A lesson from some flowers and like their leaves turn	O
Round their own inward world their own lone fragrant nest	P
Content with its sweetness content with its rest	P
	-
But the sound of the trumpet was heard from afar	Q
And Sir Lancelot rode forth again to the war	R
And the wood nymph was left as aye woman will be	J
Who trusts her whole being oh false love to thee	J
	-
For months every sunbeam that brightened the gloom	S
She deemed was the waving of Lancelot's plume	S
She knew not of the proud and the beautiful queen	T
Whose image was treasured as hers once had been	U
	-
There was many a fair dame and many a knight	F
Made the banks of the river like fairy land bright	F
And among those whose shadow was cast on the tide	V
Was Lancelot kneeling at Genevra's side	V
	-
With purple sails heavily drooping around	W
The mast and the prow with the vale lily bound	W
And towed by two swans a small vessel drew near	X
But high on the deck was a pall covered bier	Y
	-
They oared with their white wings the bark thro' the flood	Z
Till arrived at the bank where Sir Lancelot stood	A2
A wind swept the river and flung back the pall	B2
And there lay a lady the fairest of all	C2
	-
But pale as a statue like sunshine on snow	H
The bright hair seemed mocking the cold face below	H
Sweet truants the blush and the smile both are fled	D
Sir Lancelot weeps as he kneels by the dead	D
	-
And these are love's records a vow and a dream	I
And the sweet shadow passes away from life's stream	I
Too late we awake to regret but what tears	D2
Can bring back the waste to our hearts and our years	E2
