His steed was old, his armor worn,
And be was old and worn and gray;
The light that lit his patient eyes
1t shone from very far away.
Through CAV Provence he journeyed on,
To one high quest his lite was true,
And SO they called m Edrc1mon-
The knight who seeketh the world tn rough
pansy blossomed on his shield:
IA token 'tis," the peopl, saw.
"That still across the worlds wide field
He seeks la dame de ses pensees.'
For somewhere on painted wall.
Or in the city's shifting crowd
Or booking rom ca ement tall
Or snapped OF dream or evening cloud
Forgotten when, forgotten where
her race bad filled his careless eye
A moment ere he turned and passed,
Nor knew it was his destiny.
But ever 10 his dreams it came
Divine and passionless and strong.
A smile upon the imperial lips
No lovers kiss had dared to wrong.
BE took his armor from the wall
All gone since then was many day
He led his steed from out the stall
And sought la dame de SEES 'penSees.
The ladies of the tronbadours
"Sir Minstrel, string that lutte of yours,
And sing us a gay song of iove.'
90, ladies of the Trouoadours,
Ny lutte has but single string;
Sirventes fit for paramours
My heart is not in tune to sing.
Ths flower that blooms upon my shield
1t has ano her soil and spring
Than that where n he gauiy rose
OF light Provence is poisoning.
The lady OF my dreams doth hold
Such royal state within my mind,
No thought that comes unclad in gold
10 that high court may entrance fnd.''
So through the chestnut groves he passed,
And through the land and far away,
Nor know whether in the world
He found la dame de ses pensees.
Only know that in the South
Long TO the harp his tale was told;
Sweet as new wine within the mouth
The small, choice words and music old.
To scorn the promise of the Real
To SEEK and seek and not to find;
Yet cherish still the falr Ideal
IL is thy fate, restless Mind!
