Excerpt from The Ride to the Lady: And Other Poems The Ride To The Lady "Now since mine even is come at last, - For I have been the sport of steel, And hot life ebbeth from me fast, And I in saddle roll and reel, - Come bind me, bind me on my steed! Of fingering leech I have no need!" The chaplain clasped his mailed knee. "Nor need I more thy whine and thee! No time is left my sins to tell, But look ye bind me, bind me well!" They bound him strong with leathern thong, For the ride to the lady should be long. Day was dying, the poplars fled, Thin as ghosts, on a sky blood-red, Out of the sky the fierce hue fell, And made the streams as the streams of hell. All his thoughts as a river flowed, Flowed aflame as fleet he rode, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
