He is come from the land of the sword and shrine	A
From the sainted battles of Palestine	A
The snow plumes wave o'er his victor crest	B
Like a glory the red cross hangs at his breast	B
His courser is black as black can be	C
Save the brow star white as the foam of the sea	C
And he wears a scarf of broidery rare	D
The last love gift of his lady fair	D
It bore for device a cross and a dove	E
And the words 'I am vowed to my God and my love '	F
	-
He comes not back the same that he went	G
For his sword has been tried and his strength has been spent	G
His golden hair has a deeper brown	H
And his brow has caught a darker frown	H
And his lip has lost its youthful red	I
And the shade of the South o'er his cheek is spread	I
But stately his step and his bearing high	J
And wild the light of his fiery eye	J
And proud in the lists were the maiden bright	K
Who might claim the Knight of the Cross for her knight	K
	-
He rides for the home he had pined to see	C
In the court in the camp in captivity	C
He reached the castle his own step was all	L
That echoed within the deserted hall	L
He stood on the roof of the ancient tower	M
And for banner there waved one pale wall flower	M
And for sound of the trumpet and peal of the horn	N
Came the scream of the owl on the night wind borne	N
The turrets were falling the vassals were flown	O
And the bat ruled the halls he had called his own	O
His heart throbbed high Oh never again	P
Might he soothe with sweet thoughts his spirit's pain	Q
He never might think of his boyish years	R
Till his eyes grew dim with those sweet warm tears	S
Which hope and memory shed when they meet	T
The grave of his kindred was at his feet	T
He stood alone the last of his race	U
With the cold wide world for his dwelling place	U
The home of his fathers gone to decay	V
All but their memory had passed away	V
No one to welcome no one to share	D
The laurel he no more was proud to wear	D
He came in the pride of his war success	W
But to weep over very desolateness	W
	-
They pointed him to a barren plain	Q
Where his father his brothers his kinsmen were slain	Q
They shewed him the lowly grave where slept	X
The maiden whose scarf he so truly had kept	X
But they could not shew him one living thing	Y
To which his withered heart could cling	Y
	-
Amid the warriors of Palestine	A
Is one the first in the battle line	A
It is not for glory he seeks the field	Z
For a blasted tree is upon his shield	Z
And the motto it bears is 'I fight for a grave '	-
He found it That warrior has died with the brave	A2
